Hereford Mappa Mundi Print: Medieval World Map Art

This historical map print beautifully captures the essence of medieval cartography, offering a captivating glimpse into the worldview of the Middle Ages. Perfect as map wall art or a thoughtful world map gift, it brings history and artistry together in a unique display. Scholars believe it was made around the year 1300 and shows the history, geography and destiny of humanity as it was understood in Christian Europe in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. The inhabited part of the world as it was known then, roughly equivalent to Europe, Asia and North Africa, is mapped within a Christian framework. Jerusalem is in the centre, and east is at the top. East, where the sun rises, was where medieval Christians looked for the second coming of Christ. The British Isles is at the bottom on the left. - Canvas options available: gallery-wrapped on a 1.25-inch wooden frame or rolled unframed with added border on 400 gsm matte canvas - Made & delivered in the USA (for US orders) on 240 gsm heavyweight museum-quality matte paper - Matte print features a smooth, natural white surface ideal for fine art reproduction; unframed with an optional white margin for easy framing - Includes extra 5mm (0.2 inches) white margin around the image; margin removal available upon request - Carefully packed and shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube to ensure safe delivery Please note: This is a vintage reprint and may show authentic signs of age such as centerfolds, edge discoloration, foxing, or small repairs, adding to its historical charm. • All prints come with an extra white margin for easier framing; message me if you prefer no margin • Canvas options offer premium inkjet printing for high-end art display • For custom sizes or framing options, feel free to contact me anytime • Check shop policies for shipping and returns details Thank you for visiting Historilicious!
