Globe Terrestre

Allain Mallet
World - Miscellany
3.9" x 5.8"

$210.00

Interesting miniature engraving featuring a globe rendered onto a cartouche fashioned as a wall map with mathematical calculations surrounding the globe. This hangs above a fortified medieval city from which a military procession marches toward the sea. The map depicts the hemisphere centered on the Atlantic Ocean showing most of America, Europe and Africa and the enormous continent at the South Pole as well as numerous sailing ships.
