Description:
The most significant era in the history of cartography runs from the end of the 1300's until the end of the 17yh century, even though we can only speak of a true Renaissance from 1400 onwards. Maps then started to become more technical to meet the growing demands of navigators who required greater certainty during their explorations.
Engraving Information:
This artistic reproduction of a vintage map was made using modern graphic procedures, but obtaining the results found in the antique copperplate engraving technique, as one can easily find out by lightly rubbing his/her finger on the map. This map, which is an exact reproduction of the original antique, is printed on cotton paper panels which are glued and mounted on a cotton cloth background "a stacchi" (slightly separated from each other), in order to allow for folding and easier transport. Finally, map is water-colored by hand making it a truly unique piece, worthy of the original old print.
