Description
Ancient Jerusalem birds-eye plan / map – an iconic engraving by Joseph Moxon, printed and hand-coloured in London in 1671.
“To the Right Reverend Father in God, JOHN, Lord Bishop of Chester. This Mapp is humbly Dedicated by Joseph Moxon.” Birds-eye view / plan of ancient Jerusalem based on Stern’s plan of 1630, by Joseph Moxon, 1671, showing the City with the Second Temple, Herod’s Castle, streets and markets, fortified walls, along with images of Solomon’s anointment and Golgotha. A reference table on the right lists numbered important places and buildings.
Joseph Moxon (1627 – 1691) was an English engraver and printer, and mathematician. He produced the first English mathematical dictionary, as well as maps and globes. He was appointed hydrographer to the King Charles II in 1662, and later became the first tradesman to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.
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.
