Featured Work

Ptolemaic Map of the World from 1493

Hartmann Schedel's world map was based on the cartographic system of Claudius Ptolemy, whose geographic scholarship formed the foundation for map production in the fifteenth century. This map is ostensibly based on Ptolemy's second projection, yet it was simplified for a popular audience and therefore drawn without latitudes, longitudes, scales, and extensive nomenclature.

The map comes from the richest illustrated Incunable, the famous: Liber chronicarum, or Nuremberg Chronicle, published upon the return of Christopher Columbus to Europe after discovering The New World / America.

A wonderful staff that took an incredible amount of time to work patiently with me!

My recent experience was perfect.... I was well taken care of from the moment I entered the store. The work was done expediently which was an extra bonus and attention to detail was given across the board. Thank you.
