(Old Maps, 17th Century Maps, Mallet Maps, Africa, North Africa, Morocco, Tripoli, Tunis, Libya).

Issued 1683, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 17th century copper engraved map with old hand color.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Pronounced old damp staining around the map in the blank margins, the image still displays a fine patina.

Sheet measures c. 7 7/8" H x 5 7/8" W.

Printed area measures c. 5 1/2" H x 4" W.
