An absolutely stunning and interesting vintage full-size reproduction of the 1794 hand-colored Danish map, Charte over den Danske Oe St Croix I America. Written on the back of the map, in ink, is the name Charles Knowles. An original version of this map, not colored, published in the Netherlands in 1800, can be found at the Universiteit Leiden. This map was found in its vintage frame; we believe both the print and the frame are from the 1960s. The print is yellowed with random stains and a small tear, see photos. The perimeter of the map was edged in masking tape many years ago which has now yellowed, see photos. None of these flaws due to age detract from the beauty or legibility of this unique piece!
The vintage heart pine frame has been sanded, cleaned up and finished. New plexiglass, foam core backing, plywood back and hanging hardware has been added. Ready to hang for many years of enjoyment!
