Historic Map of Italy by Janssonius-Hondius “Italia Nuouamente piu perfetta chemai per inanzi posta…” from “Atlas Novus…orbis terrarium” engraved in 1631 and printed in Amsterdam in 1638. Ornamented with a beautiful cartouche that includes she-wolf feeding Romulus and Remus, their profiles also below by the scale inset, sailing ships, Neptune with trident in one hand and other hand on a mermaid’s breast, and a variety of sea monsters.
Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664) was a Dutch cartographer and publisher who lived and worked in Amsterdam in the 17th century. In 1612 he married Elisabeth de Hondt, the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, another famous Dutch cartographer. Janssonius produced his first maps in 1616. In the 1630s he formed a partnership with his brother in law Henricus Hondius, and together they published atlases as Mercator/Hondius/Janssonius. Under the leadership of Janssonius the Hondius Atlas was steadily enlarged. Renamed Atlas Novus, it had three volumes in 1638. These maps are highly decorative and remain among the earliest and most accurate.
This poster is a high quality “giclee” reproduction of a restored antique original, custom-printed on Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm or Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm (more of a thin card density), or superb Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm, according to your choice. We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour permanence (up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints). This poster is suitable for mounting and framing, as well as direct display on a wall.
IMPORTANT: If you are going to frame this print we recommend art paper 230gsm or canvas 320gsm. The 140gsm art paper option makes sense if you wish to DIY-frame or to tack the poster to a wall without framing, due to it being lighter and more flexible. All three options are giclee prints of the same high quality.
POSTER PRINT QUALITY
Please note that our reproduction posters are made to order and every print is checked before posting. The images we use in most cases are scans of antique originals, professionally restored in order to remove the most evident stains, folds, tears and other damage. We strive to balance the restoration and saving the overall integrity and antique appearance of the original. Our restored images are unique and these prints can be purchased only from www.VictorianMaps.com.
There will be no watermark on your image but there might be a white border depending on aspect ratio of the original. Please note that when a large antique original is reduced to a smaller size print some text may not be readable. Please check our measurements: every poster has its own aspect ratio same as original and printed exactly as pictured.
