World by Pieter Goos

Price range: £35.55 through £59.95

by Pieter Goos

Created in Amsterdam and typical of Pieter Goos richly illuminated work.  Insets of the North South Poles feature left and right at the base whilst in between an illustration that is a work of art in itself depicts several emblematic characters who individually represent the four seasons. Note the seaborne cherubs creating gentle winds whilst the sun and moon are beautifully illustrated amongst the clouds through which exotic birds of all sizes take flight. The ornate inner title pieces have unusual decorations of birds and fish. Geographical inaccuracies were not uncommon in these times and interestingly California is shown as an island and the northwestern portion of North America is omitted altogether. A rich and thoroughly engaging old map of the world.

Fine Art Map Reproductions – Museum-Quality Printing

Unlike most online offerings, our maps are produced entirely in-house, not outsourced to print-on-demand or drop-shipping services. This allows complete control over quality while offering better value. Each map begins with a high-resolution original, carefully enhanced and printed to order using archival papers and pigment inks for exceptional clarity, depth, and longevity. Every piece is personally overseen — no map leaves our workshop unless it is of a quality we would be proud to display ourselves.

Authentic Old Map Paper & Accurate Colour Reproduction

Paper choice is essential to the authenticity of our maps. We use specially sourced 190gsm paper made in the UK from pure materials and traditionally pressed with natural woollen felts. This process creates a subtle, randomly textured surface that closely resembles an original antique document. Likewise the use of premium quality ink fully saturates the paper, producing remarkable clarity, depth, and historical character. Colour fastness and sharpness will remain good for in excess of 100 years!
