Antique 1683 Map of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean by Mallet
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 17th Century Map of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico by Mallet (1683) This exquisite 17th-century map by Mallet, titled "I. d'Hispaniola et P.to Rico," showcases the islands of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico with remarkable detail. Published in Paris in 1683 as part of Mallet's monumental "Description de l'Univers," this map is a prime example of historical cartography from the era. Map Features: - Detailed depiction of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico - Nearby islands: Inagua islands, Mayaguana, Île-à-Vache, Saona, and Mona - Three illustrated naval battles surrounding the islands - Hand-colored illustrations typical of the period - Published in Paris, 1683, as part of the "Description de l'Univers" - Engraved with artistic and geographic precision Collectors and enthusiasts of antique maps will appreciate the historical significance and artistic detail of this rare print. Although small, the map is perfect for framing and this map serves as a captivating piece of history, reflecting the maritime exploration and territorial knowledge of the late 17th century. The maker of the map is Allain Manesson Mallet, a notable 17th-century cartographer, military engineer, and author. Born in Paris in 1630, Mallet served in the French army and worked as a military engineer under Louis XIV. He later became a professor of mathematics and military architecture. Mallet is best known for his monumental work, "Description de l'Univers," published in Paris in 1683. This extensive publication is considered one of the greatest works of its kind in the 17th century, providing detailed descriptions and maps of various parts of the world. Mallet's maps are renowned for their artistic quality, intricate details, and the inclusion of illustrative elements such as ships, sea creatures, and topographical features. Mallet's contributions to cartography and his work in "Description de l'Univers" have left a lasting impact on the field, making his maps highly valued by collectors and historians.
