AIncisione in rame, mm 400x528, dipinta a mano d'epoca. Blome Ë autore del primo atlante in folio stampato in Inghilterra. La carta Ë caratterizzata dallo stile tipico degli incisori inglesi del Seicento, arricchita da un bel cartiglio e da un importante stemma nobiliare. Le carte di Blome sono piuttosto rare, oltre che importanti per essere le prime carte inglesi di grande formato. Restauri e piccole mancanze e rinforzi.Copper engraving, mm 400x528, original color. Old color example of Blome's scarce world map embellished with decorative features and a dedication to Charles II. Blome's map breaks from both the Dutch tradition of Baroque embellishment and the French style of sparse surroundings of the hemispheres, creating a unique combination of decorative embellishment and symbols of the Britsh Empire, making it a visually unique and striking world map. The engraving work is probably attributable to Francis Lamb, although Shirley surmised that Wenceslaus Hollar or Thomas Burnford may also have been the engraver.Still a good and decorative example but with reinforcements and restorations to lacks of paper and tears.
