Description: This ULTRA RARE map was originally published in an atlas by Henricus Hondius of Amsterdam right around the 1629. This is his map of Chili (Now spelled Chile). It depicts sea monsters shown in the ocean and Spanish Mission locations marked. This is an early map of the country with a bunch of cities marked. The map has a fold down the center because it was in an atlas originally. It is a copper plate style print with hand colored decorations. The artwork itself measures 19 inches by 14.75 inches not counting the white edge of the map that doesn't have artwork on it. The map is in good condition overall especially considering the age. The colors are still very nice with some minor yellowing at the edges of the borders and a corner bend. There are some modern pencil markings at the bottom at the border with the name of the map maker, size, and date. Considering this map was printed 125 years before the American Revolution this map is in pretty great condition! This map was museum quality framed by a professional using Optium Tru Vue acrylic anti-reflective glazing. The frame has a couple of chips in the paint, but those could be easily touched up. The person that I bought this from had a few different original 1600s era framed maps so they definitely had high quality art on their walls like this piece. See pictures for more on the style and condition. I tried to get close ups so you can see some of these details for yourself. Buyer pays actual shipping in the U.S.
