J.B. Nolin’s uncoloured map *Cartes Costes Maritimes* depicts the coastlines of Europe and dates from 1751–1760.
Description from the seller
Antique, historical 1756 French map of the maritime coastlines of Europe (Cartes des Costes Maritimes de l'Europe), attributed to French cartographer Jean-Baptiste Nolin.
Dimensions: 78 cm high x 55 cm wide.
copperplate engraving on heavy laid paper. Authentic map exhibits telltale signs of age, such as natural chain-line watermarks in the paper texture, plate indentation marks pressed around the border from the copper plate, uneven browning, or foxing spots.
* visible grid pattern of parallel vertical lines (laid lines) and horizontal chain lines running through the texture of the paper. The exact signature of handmade paper from the 1700s.
**The ink sits deeply inside the fibers, and the faint, natural discoloration (toning) matches real aging rather than artificial coloring.
