Historic World Map Puzzle
|
| This beautiful
3,000 piece puzzle is a wonderful example of a surviving 17th century wall
map. Designed to captivate the viewer with their beauty and decorative
detail, historic wall maps represent the pinnacle of "Golden Age of
Cartography". The source for this map is unknown, though the map has
been signed "G. Blaeu" in the title banner. Even its place of publication,
Venice, is uncertain. While this map - like many 17th century wall
maps - is based on Blaeu's wall map of 1605, it also bears a striking
resemblance to the 1629 map of Nicolaes van Wassenaer - of which there is
only one known example. While there are many pieces of the maps
origins missing, we guarantee all 3,000 will be in the box!
Made from recycled board and also features a
linen-finished paper to ensure glare-free viewing.
