Hello! Happy Tuesday 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here for you today a gorgeous map of Cork, 1851 by John Tallis. This town plan includes vignettes of Blarney Castle, Black Rock Castle, Queenstown Harbour and Old Weir Bridge, Killarney. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📍The city of Cork began as a monastic settlement, founded by St Finbar in the sixth century.

Happy Friday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take a journey back in time through this beautiful reproduction map of North America by Herman Moll, circa 1719. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of Herman Moll’s most famous maps often referred to as The Codfish Map. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As an enhancement to his "Map of North America," Moll engraved orthographic or plan views of ten bays in North America and the Caribbean in the lower left-hand corner of the map. Each bay was the location of a major port city and harbor. Five of the port cities were British (St. John's, Boston, New York, Charleston, and Port Royal) and five were Spanish (Havana, Portobello, Vera Cruz, Cartagena, and Acapulco). Moll engraved the insets in the style of navigational charts complete with numbers on some of the charts representing depth soundings in fathoms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Herman Moll (1654?-1732) was a London cartographer, engraver, and publisher. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔎 Our prints are linen backed by hand, this technique gives it more durability and a beautiful vintage finish look. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Linen backing is a technique that mapmakers used in the past as a solution to keep the maps stronger for long journeys and weather changes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔎Nowadays, this technique is an important conservation method for restoring and preserving vintage maps and posters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Our maps are folded and fitted into a marbled slipcase. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Visit our online store →www.oldmapslibrary.com . . . . #maplove #lovemaps #mapshop #mapsoftheworld #oldword #antiquemapsandprints #map (at London, Unιted Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChuKqRpo1lP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
