Kingdom of Hungary Ottoman Empire Transylvania Budapest 1685 Mallet map

Hongrie. Ungarn.

(Old Prints, 17th Century Maps, Mallet Prints, Europe, Hungary, Transylvania, Ottoman Empire, Budapest).

Issued 1685, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 17th century copper engraved map 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.
