'Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica Ac Hydrographica Tabula' by Claes Janszoon Visscher, 1652. It features twelve Roman emperors riding horses, which is why it's sometimes called the "Twelve Caesars Map", the four continents, six costumed figures showing the clothing styles of different parts of the world and eight city views.
All of our reproductions are done on hand-processed paper, illuminated with gold paint and finished with beeswax, giving them a real parchment-like look. Actual colors may vary a bit due to different monitors displaying colors differently.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
In case your print creases during the travel, as it usually does travel for some time, you can safely warm it up with a hair-dryer, and the wax will melt back right into it. You can also use a lighter, which is a much faster method, but be careful to keep the flame either above the paper or parallel to it (which means holding the paper vertically) so it doesn't smudge or even catch fire. The chance of the print actually creasing is very small, as they are rolled in bubble-wrap and shipped in a cardboard box.Also, be sure to keep the print out of the direct sunlight, as it can melt or fade.
