World map of the marine in the XVIIth century

Inspired by an old map of Melchior Tavernier made in 1643, this map is decorated with illustrations and navigation scenes. This map shows us all the known or supposed lands in the 17th century, distinguishing the "New World" from the old one.

World map printed in nine colors, on old fashioned laid paper, ivory color, 46x65 cm, made and printed in France, by Daniel Derveaux.
