Moscow Detailed City Plan Kremlin Castle Peter the Great 1719 Mallet map

Chateau de Cremenela.

(Old Prints, Mallet Prints, Russian Empire, Muscovy, Moscow, The Kremlin, Moskva River).

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

Charming 18th century copper engraved city plan 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 map 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.
