Description

SARMATIA – An engraved and hand-coloured map of Sarmatia, including (presently) Black and Caspian Sea, Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine, Russia and other regions by Christoph Cellarius, published in 1701.

This map was published in early edition of Cellarius’ history atlas “Notitia Orbis Antiqui, Sive Geographia Plenior…”, published in 1701 in London and Amsterdam.

Christoph Cellarius (Christopher Keller) (1638 – 1707) was a German scholar, historian and geographer, active in the later part of 17th century. He held academic position in both Weimar and Halle universities. Cellarius most important work was “A Universal History Divided Into an Ancient, Medieval, and New Period”, where he introduced a concept of history division into ancient, medieval and modern, widely used today. His geographical atlas “Notitia Orbis Antiqui, Sive Geographia Plenior…” was one of the most popular atlases of ancient geography.

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 thoroughly 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.
