120.10 Mare
Del Nord Auttore I1 P. M. Coronelli ......., c1691, by V.
Coronelli, Venice
 |
A fine example
of Coronelli’s robust style is this rendering centered on
the Atlantic Ocean. A navigational sea chart with rhumb
lines it has it’s emphasis on coastal geography. The map
details the East Coast of North America and the Caribbean as
well as Central America and the northern portions of South
America with North Africa on the opposite side of the
Atlantic. Included in the North Atlantic is Spain, portion
of France, and Great Britain. The northern extremities also
include Iceland and Greenland. An elaborate title cartouche
completes the map; without color as originally issued.
Printed on heavy paper, the map is rated Very Good with some
foxing and damp stains to the left border not affecting the
map which measures approximately (17.7" x 23.3").
