{"product_id":"old-world-map-from-1719-by-herman-moll-large-colonial-exploration-atlas-chart","title":"Old World Map from 1719 by Herman Moll - Large Colonial \u0026 Exploration Atlas Chart","description":"This is one of the largest, finest and most detailed world maps from the 18th century, originally published in 1719 by Herman Moll, the finest English cartographer and mapmaker of the era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in four sheets and spanning almost 120cm (50 inches), the level of detail on this map is quite astounding. There are detailed hydrological records showing the ocean currents around the tropics. The routes of contemporary explorers such as Henry Hudson and Thomas James and the circumnavigation by Woodes Rogers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the top left a small world map is shown with degrees of compass variation. In the bottom left is an azimuthal view of the North Pole which explorers had started to explore. There is a beautifully detailed cartouche showing elements of both the Old and New Worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany parts of the world are yet to be explored in this map, such as the US West Coast (California is shown as a mythical island, and there's no Alaska) and the east coast of Australia. The eastern edge of Russia and the island of Hokkaido are looking a bit wonky, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll in all, this is one of the greatest maps ever created from any era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis map looks great at all sizes from 12x18 inches (30x40cm) to 15x24 inches (38x60cm) and beyond. The text is definitely quite small when printed at 12x18 inches. The map looks its best when printed large. I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 4 meters (150in) wide. Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis map would make a great birthday or Christmas gift for a modern-day explorer\/world traveller, or perhaps someone who loves geography, history or chronicles of human endeavour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can order the map itself, or you can order a framed version. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that really makes our maps pop out when on a wall. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame, or if you'd like to frame one of the larger maps. We use super-clear \u003cspan\u003eacrylic (perspex\/acrylite)\u003c\/span\u003e in our frames - it's less reflective than glass and better for transport.","brand":"The Unique Maps
