Novaya Zemlya Artic Lands Archipelago Berents Sea 1719 Mallet Miniature Hc Map Russia

Nouvelle Zemble.(Old Prints, 18th Century Prints, Europe, Russia, Novaya Zemlya, Berents Sea, Arctic Ocean). Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A. M. Mallet. Charming 18th century copper engraved Arctic region 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 fine patina. Sheet measures c. 7 7/8" H x 5 7/8" W. Printed area measures c. 5 1/2" H x 4" W. Cartographic Reference (s):Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers, vol. 3, pp. 196.[B12296].
