WALL ART

2,454 artworks

Maps in an art archive are engraved or printed images representing territory or coastline, often decorated with cartouches, ships, sea monsters or coats of arms. The great age of decorative cartography ran from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, driven first by the Age of Exploration and then by the atlas publishing houses of Amsterdam and Antwerp, with figures such as Abraham Ortelius and Willem Blaeu producing widely copied world atlases. Most surviving examples were engraved on copper and hand coloured after printing, since colour applied by hand added considerably to their cost. A pre 1930 archive under this heading holds these engraved and lithographed maps rather than manuscript charts.
