An antique world map rendered in two hemispheres dominates this composition, its continents and oceans rendered in warm ochres, terracottas, and creams against a cream ground. Ornamental cartouches frame the top and bottom with baroque flourishes and celestial imagery, while decorative wind heads and maritime details populate the borders, creating a richly detailed window into Renaissance-era cartography. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
