Novaya Zemlya Russian Empire Muscovy Arctic Circle 1719 Mallet hand color map

Nouvelle Zemble.

(Old Prints, 18th Century Prints, Mallet Prints, Asia, Russian Empire, Novaya Zemlya, Muscovy, Artic Circle).

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

Charming 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.
