Add a piece of history into your home with this world map tapestry. A map which combines the skills of the cartographer and the tapestry weaver. Throughout history most maps employed elaborate pictorial borders representing the people, flora and fauna of foreign parts. The tradition was maintained by most Dutch map makers throughout the 16th century and by numerous others of various nations over the next two hundred years. One of the most curious world maps was published in 1581 in Henrich Bunting’s Itinerarium. This clover leaf map derives from Medieval Mappa Mundi and has Jerusalem as its centre with the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe as the three leaves. This tapestry makes a great gift for someone that is interested in the history of maps.
