Slades Antiques

Description

This antique map of Europe is hand-coloured. There is a plate mark surrounding the map so we believe it be an engraving. It appears to have been taken from a large atlas as there is a fold crease down the middle, but the map is printed on a single sheet. It is entitled: 'Carte Encyprotype L'Europe reduite de celle sur 4 feuilles du meine Auteur. Dediee & Presentee a Monsieur Par H. Brue, Ingenieur-Geographe de S.A. Royale, a Paris, chez Desray, Libraire-Editeur, Rue Haute-feuille, No. 4, Goujon, Marchand de Cartes Geographiques, Rue de Bae, No. 6. 1816'. Along the top is printed 'Atlas Universel, No. 6'. The map is mounted, glazed and framed in more modern gilt frame.

Condition: Overall in very good condition with good colours. There is some grubbiness and wear to the map, and some creasing - there is a crease down the centre of the map and another diagonal one to one side. There is some marking to the back of the mount. There is some scuffing, knocking and wear to the frame as might be expected and some loss to the gilt paintwork.

The approx. measurements are as follows:
Map Size - 76cm by 55cm
Frame - 99cm by 79cm, 2cm deep.
