Antique Map Old World Brown tapestry translates a 1630 world map by Henricus Hondius II, the Dutch engraver, cartographer and publisher, into textile form. Old world cartographers made map-making an art form, and this design shows why. Portraits of Julius Caesar, Claudius Ptolemy, Jodocus Hondius (Henricus' father) and Gerardus Mercator frame the map, along with the four elements of earth, fire, air and water.
Rich brown tones give it a warm, historic character that feels right at home in an office, library or den, and the horizontal format sits easily above a desk or sofa. It makes a thoughtful choice for a traveler, a history lover or anyone who enjoys a story on the wall.
