Brian DiMambro- Antiquarian Books, Maps & Prints
Isles Schiro und Negropont. (Greece- Greek islands)
Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A.M. Mallet.
Charming 18th century copper engraved “miniature” 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.
Clean and well preserved example, the image displays a pleasing age patina.
Perfect small map for framing, gift giving, collecting, etc.
Sheet measures c. 8" H x 6 1/2” W.
