It was the first world map ever bound in an atlas, and the most seen in its day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oval is wreathed in cloud, its name set in a scroll above. A great continent sits across the south to counterweight the north, while a frigate rides the open seas. Along the foot runs a thought from Cicero on the smallness of human cares.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis map stands as a testament to the world as it was then known in full, offering a window into the age that gave us the atlas. One of the most seminal of all old world maps, it lends a thoughtful, cosmic gravitas to any living room, office, or study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":67854809039037,"sku":"ENMAP0863_1624L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":67854809071805,"sku":"ENMAP0863_2436L","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/18eG2Zen9bPW_N-thdqrBlo4WloIt14EA_w1000.jpg?v=1792557728","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1572-world-map-terrestrial-globe","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
