This item is a high-quality, framed reproduction print of the famous 17th-century map of Bermuda, originally engraved by Dutch cartographer Willem Blaeu. The original map, first published circa 1630, is a masterpiece of early cartographic design and historical significance.

Key Features of the Map Design:

• Historical Detail: Based on Richard Norwood's highly accurate survey of the islands from 1617, the map shows Bermuda divided into its original "tribes" (parishes) and the 25-acre land shares allotted to the first English proprietors, whose names are listed at the bottom.
• Decorative Elements: The print features a striking, ornate title cartouche depicting the sea god Neptune and the English Royal Arms, a compass rose, and sailing ships.
• Unique "Two Maps in One" Design: A brilliant design feature is a smaller, inset map that superimposes Bermuda's detailed shape over a map of the North Atlantic, illustrating its position relative to the North American coastline (Virginia, Nova Scotia).
