Carte Réduite du Globe Terrestre – 18th Century World Map
This elegant reproduction of the Carte Réduite du Globe Terrestre from the 18th century captures the world as it was known during the height of global exploration. Created by French cartographers, this map offers a detailed view of the continents and oceans, showcasing regions such as “Mer Glaciale,” “Océan Oriental,” and “Royaume de Batiscan.” The intricately designed cartouche and precise geographic details reflect the scientific and artistic craftsmanship of early French mapmaking.
This map is historically significant for its contribution to the Age of Discovery, highlighting trade routes, exploration paths, and the world as perceived during the 1700s. It’s an essential piece for collectors of vintage cartography or those fascinated by 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 look and historical accuracy, I retain some imperfections.
What Makes My Prints Different
Sure, you might find similar prints 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.
