Description
This dramatic and beautifully engraved map is notable for having been printed from the original copperplate by the famous Chalcographie du Louvre . It of course has no centrefold as it was never bound in a volume and is not printed on laid paper as were the original 17th century impressions but instead on the heavy "Van Gelder Zonen" fine art paperstock used for original etchings by prominent artists including Picasso and Renoir. In a history of the papermaking firm, K. van der Weel notes that this type of paper with the prominent Van Gelder Zonen watermark was introduced in 1845, and the print is offered in the 1860 Catalogue des Planches Gravées composant le fonds de la Chalcographie et dont les épreuves se vendent au Musée impérial du Louvre thus pointing to a likely printing date in the 1850s. The piece is further enhanced by exquisite hand color work of the very highest caliber. Often referred to as “The Horseshoe Crab Map”. Originally published by Rossingol. At top “Icy eft le vray pourtraict naturel de la ville, cite, universite de Parisy” In lower left corner “A Paris Chez Melchior Quai DV Portav Foin Qvu Regarde Lilenostredame” . Extra shipping is required for this large, unfolded map.
