[ translate ]

(TEXTILE MAP.) Western Hemisphere, or the New World. Map of the Americas decorated with two costumed figures and several sailing tracks printed in red ink on linen. 19x21 1/2 inches overall, edges hemmed; "I. Bogart" embroidered in black thread at lower right; overall very well preserved. Np, but English (?), circa 1800

Estimate $1,000 - 1,500

An excellent piece of textile-printed cartography, the present map is derived from an unidentified source; it may or may not have had an Eastern Hemispheric counterpart. The tables in the left spandrels and the "American" and "Asiatic" figures at right all within a thin star-patterned border lend an agreeable balance and aesthetic to complete the design of this curious independently produced map.

Price Realized (with Buyer's Premium) $688
