A propos de cet article

Believed to be from the 1701 edition of 'A system of Geography' that was issued in London in 1701. A single leaf, pages 331/332. Measures approximately 12 1/4 inches tall by 7 1/2 inches wide. With a 6 3/4 by 7 1/4 inch map of Denmark on page 331. Engraved by Herman Moll. With the beginning descriptive text on the history of Denmark, although not complete. Herman Moll was a noted cartographer and engraver, located in England, although perhaps originally from the Netherlands or Germany. Initially working for others, he started to work on his own in the late 1690's, with his exacting style serving to influence other cartographers (Wikipedia). GOOD condition. Minor browning to the paper, a bit heavier along the extremities. Small tear and crease near the lower right corner, with a shallow half moon 1 inch piece missing from the upper left extremity. Small faint dampstain along the upper edge. A few minor creases at the corner. Map a bit offcenter.
