Scythia & Sarmatia Ancient World Asia 1719 Mallet map

Die Mitternachtige Theil des Alten Asien,

(Old Prints, 18th Century Maps, Mallet Prints, Asia, Ancient World, Scythia, Sarmatia).

Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming early 18th century copper engraved print with lovely 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.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a pleasing age patina.

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

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