Exceptional Art c.1642 Map of the World

Rich in historical detail, the Exceptional Art c.1642 Map of the World wall art presents a remarkable double hemisphere world map first published in 1642. This framed print captures the character of 17th-century cartography, with pictorial relief illustrations, detailed notations from Marco Polo and the notable place name Terra Australis Incognita woven into the design.

Digitally remastered in a Lancashire studio, the artwork restores the original hand-coloured appearance used to define the continents, while preserving the map’s allegorical spandrel vignettes, celestial hemispheres, North and South Poles, sailing ships and sea monsters. Exceptional Art prints this piece using archival methods for lasting quality, and finishes it in a sustainable wood frame. Hand cut, printed and assembled in Britain, it brings a considered, scholarly presence to a study, hallway, living room or home office.
