18th Century Map of the Whole World

This stunning 18th-century map provides a comprehensive view of the world as it was understood at the time. Detailing both the Old and New Worlds, this map captures the geographic knowledge of the period, from Europe and Africa to the Americas and Asia. With decorative illustrations surrounding the map, it is not only a functional tool for navigation but also a work of art reflecting early exploration, colonization, and territorial boundaries. This historical map is an excellent addition for collectors of vintage cartography and those interested in the history of global exploration.

I personally digitally restore and clean up the original scanned image, adjusting colors, exposure, and fixing blemishes to produce a high-quality print. However, to maintain the vintage poster look and historical accuracy, I retain some imperfections.

What Makes My Prints Different

Sure, you might find similar images elsewhere, but not all prints are equal. I use a high-end lab with professional photo printers, high-quality archival inks, and acid-free archival Lustre paper—a premium, heavier paper offering vibrant colors with a fingerprint-resistant, glare-free matte finish. Prints are available in all popular sizes; select your size when ordering. Please note that listing photos are low resolution, but high-resolution files are used for printing. Prints are unframed; frames shown are for illustration purposes only.

Shipping

Prints are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. They are shipped flat in a rigid box or rolled in a sturdy mailing tube, depending on size. Please refer to the shop’s policies for additional shipping information.
