Two large hemispheres dominate this antique cartographic composition, rendered in cream, tan, and soft green tones with delicate line work defining continents and ocean routes. Ornamental vignettes depicting ships, sea creatures, and allegorical figures in muted jewel tones frame the map, creating an elaborate baroque border that celebrates the age of exploration. 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.
