This map is not “new” or in “new condition.” This is an antique map and the quality of that will be reflected in the work. It was printed in 1817 and is in good condition considering its antique age. The full page measures approx. 10”L x 8.5”W and shows some signs of aging. The margins are uneven and the map has been folded once before down the middle, though it does not disrupt the image. The piece is in great condition, ready for framing!
The map pictured is the map that you will receive.
The founder of the Arrowsmith dynasty of cartographers, Aaron Arrowsmith ( B. 1750 ) in England, moved to London at the age of twenty and worked underneath engraver John Cary and cartographer William Faden. Eventually he became hydrographer for the Prince, then subsequent King of Wales in 1820. The piece that brought him fame was a large recreation of the Mercator's projection, a geographical display of the world that indicates north as up and south as down, and inflates things further from the Equator. After passing on his business to his sons Aaron, Samuel, and his nephew John Arrowsmith, the trio continued to publish maps after his death in 1823.
All items listed are from V&J Duncan in Savannah, GA. The shop began in 1983 with one tabletop of antique maps and has grown into a vast collection of old engravings, mezzotints, lithographs, photographs, old books, and antique prints.
