Historic Wall Map - 1662

Historic Wall Map – 1662

What could be a more iconic projection of the world than Joan Blaeu’s Nova Et Accuratissima Totius Orbis Tabula? This is one of the most classic and influential projections of the world by the acclaimed cartographer Joan Blaeu and though it might not make too much impression as a modern reference tool, it is a snapshot of the world as it was once seen through the eyes of a 17th-century mapmaker.

That being said, it could be a valuable reference tool to investigate how certain corners of Europe once actually viewed, and what they believed about, the world. However, this map really is just an uncommonly beautifully example of wall art. Maps aren’t all for referential or educational purposes and this is a fine example of the decorative value of many of our world maps for sale. Not only is the map handsomely finished, but the framing of the globe is also beautifully decorated with artistic embellishments.

These are only a few of the many unparalleled examples of world maps for sale that we offer right here on our site. We offer many more hundreds of political and geographic maps as well as historic maps alongside many representations that are intended to be put to use specifically as decorative pieces. Take a look through our pages to find something that works for you – you may very well be more interested in an art print than a political map, and that’s fine because we offer both.
