An extremely attractive example of Jacques-Nicolas Bellin’s 1758 map of Saint Lucia (St. Lucia) or Sainte Lucie in the West Indies. St. Lucia is considered among the most beautiful of the Windward Isles. This map covers this spectacular Caribbean island in considerable detail showing mountains, cities, and forests in Bellin’s distinctive profile style. Good harbors are marked with miniature anchors. A decorative rococo style title cartouche appears in the upper left quadrant. eBay item number 234889214538 #stlucia #bellinmap #stlucie #stluciamap #oldmap #map #cartography #maps #vintagemap #oldmaps #antiquemaps #vintage #vintagemaps #antiquemap #raremaps #history #thcentury #geography #antique #antiquemapsandprints #mapart #art #raremap #travel #alteagallery #worldmap #mapcollecting #mapmaker #antiques #oldmapsandprints https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYNt0EISeM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Day! How about have in your home a beautiful historical map of your favourite place in the world? Just like this great map of Turkey in Asia, Persia Arabia & c. by Johnson and Ward, 1866 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This map of Arabia, Persia, and Turkey in Asia, covers from the Mediterranean and Egypt eastwards as far as the Mouths of the Indus River, as well as southward as far as the Horn of Africa and northwards to the Black Sea. Depicts most of the politically volatile modern-day middle east, including the nations of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. Offers color coding according to country and region as well as notations regarding desert caravan routes, oases, roadways, river systems, forts and monasteries, and some topographical features. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries. 🔎 Our prints are linen backed by hand, this technique gives it more durability and a beautiful vintage finish look. ⏳Linen backing is a technique that mapmakers used in the past as a solution to keep the maps stronger for long journeys and weather changes. ⏳Our maps are folded and fitted into a marbled slipcase. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you also fascinated by old maps? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Travel back to moments in time and discover the world heritage!" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have a beautiful collection of Old Maps and Vintage Illustrations on our website.

#Repost @antiquemaps ・・・ Algeria, Pierre Du Val. Algeria as the lair of the Barbary pirates Title: Carte du Roiaume d'Alger. [with] Description du Royaume d'Algier Par P. Du Val, Geographe du Roy. Printed: Paris, 1665. Original outline colour. Image size: 365 x 520mm, with a rare letterpress description. A map of Algeria engraved by François Lépine (Lapointe) published as France was taking action against the Barbary Pirates based in Algiers, aided by England. After the pirates had attacked the coast of Provence Louis XIV ordered the Duke of Beaufort to capture the port of Djidjelli and create a European fortress to threaten Algiers. The duke took Djidjelli in July 1664 but had to withdraw in October because an outbreak of plague in Toulon left him without new supplies and reinforcements. Naval action continued: in August 1665 Beaufort captured a corsair ship that had been fitted with the guns he had left behind at Djidjelli. The text sheet, although primarily geographical in purpose, includes a paragraph on the expedition to 'Gigeri'.

Happy Friday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take a journey back in time through this beautiful reproduction map of North America by Herman Moll, circa 1719. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of Herman Moll’s most famous maps often referred to as The Codfish Map. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As an enhancement to his "Map of North America," Moll engraved orthographic or plan views of ten bays in North America and the Caribbean in the lower left-hand corner of the map. Each bay was the location of a major port city and harbor. Five of the port cities were British (St. John's, Boston, New York, Charleston, and Port Royal) and five were Spanish (Havana, Portobello, Vera Cruz, Cartagena, and Acapulco). Moll engraved the insets in the style of navigational charts complete with numbers on some of the charts representing depth soundings in fathoms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Herman Moll (1654?-1732) was a London cartographer, engraver, and publisher. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔎 Our prints are linen backed by hand, this technique gives it more durability and a beautiful vintage finish look. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Linen backing is a technique that mapmakers used in the past as a solution to keep the maps stronger for long journeys and weather changes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔎Nowadays, this technique is an important conservation method for restoring and preserving vintage maps and posters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Our maps are folded and fitted into a marbled slipcase. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Visit our online store →www.oldmapslibrary.com . . . . #maplove #lovemaps #mapshop #mapsoftheworld #oldword #antiquemapsandprints #map (at London, Unιted Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChuKqRpo1lP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Monday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A gorgeous reprint map of Cambridgeshire, 1750 by Emanuel Bowen.

Illustrated with historical extracts relative to the soil, air, natural produce, manufactures, trade, prevent the state of its principal towns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⭐︎ Cambridgeshire is a county in the East of England, bordering Lincolnshire to the north, Norfolk to the north-east, Suffolk to the east, Essex and Hertfordshire to the south, and Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire to the west.
