Description
This is a rare antique original custom framed map of America, about 325 years old, showing California as an island. It was purchased in Viareggio, Italy in an antique map store about 20 years ago and framed in the United States. Philip Cluver was a historian who used maps in most of his books. This map originates from a book by Cluver "Introductionis in Universam Geograpicam" published by Johannis Bunonis In the bottom right hand corner the dealer has written in pencil: Inc. Originale Filippo Cluverio 1683 "Universam Geographia" Johannis Bunonis Amsterdam The correct spelling of his name in English is PHILLIP CLUVER and the "Universam Geographia" should read "Introductionis in Universam Geographicam". The map measures approximately 8" x 10". There is a small amount of foxing but it is custom framed on museum quality acid free backing. The overall size of the frame is 18" wide and 17" tall, and the reflection you see on some of the photos is from my camera only.
