Slades Antiques

Description

This framed antique hand-coloured map is the bottom half of a two-sheet map of Ireland. It is from a Gerard Mercator atlas (we are unsure which edition) and dates from the early seventeeth century. The sheet has Latin text on the reverse. Printed near the top of the map on the right-hand side is 'Per Gerardum Mercatorem Cum Privilegio'. It has been professionally mounted and framed.

Condition Overall in very good condition with some wear consistent with age. The paper is a little tanned and there is a centre-seam crease and an additional heavy crease to the right-hand side. The paper is also rippled / uneven. There are a few grubby marks and small scuffs. There is some nibbling to the paper around the edges (not visible in the mount). The mount and frame are recent and in excellent clean condition.

The approx. measurements are as follows
Map (to outer green edge) - 46.5cm by 33/5cm
Frame - 59cm by 46.5cm, 1.5cm deep.
