AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This beautiful rectangular mirror is a classic example of vintage artistic cartography. It is a glass screen print and is decorated with a reproduction of a 17th-century double-hemisphere world map titled “A New and Accurate Map of the World.”
The mirror shows the Earth divided into two hemispheres, eastern and western. The continents are depicted in the period style, including legendary lands such as the “Magallanica” and dotted sea routes.
All of this refers to maps dated 1651, as can be seen in the upper right of the mirror.
In the corners and borders there are rich illustrations depicting celestial phenomena, diagrams of the solar system, and portraits of famous navigators.
There are also zodiac signs and mythological figures, and at the center a radiant sun with a human face.
