Description

This antique 1799 engraved world map by Clement Cruttwell presents the globe in two hemispheres — Western and Eastern — rendered with fine line work and delicate hand-applied color on aged cream paper. The double-hemisphere format was a popular cartographic convention of the late 18th century, allowing the entire world to be displayed on a single sheet with each hemisphere centered on its respective meridian. The soft, warm tones and precise geographic outlines give this piece an elegant, scholarly character that suits library, study, or home office décor.
