NATOLIE MALLET Paris, 1683 13 x 10 cm
Natolie.(Eurasia, Ottoman Empire, Anatolia, Cyprus, Soldiers, Black Sea, Crimea). Issued 1683, Paris, for A. M. Mallet.Ã Charming 17th century copper engraved map with lovely hand color. A large scene across the bottom depicts warriors, banners and title within a strapwork cartouche. The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason. Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina.
