Recent Projects: Map of South Africa 1568

Africa Nvova Tavola Taken from Aphricae Antiquis 1568

This map of South of Africa dated 1568 taken from the book Aphricae Antiquis, was suffering from severe foxing, overall discolouration and creasing, commensurate with its age. After conservation bleaching and careful pressing the paper has been restored to a condition worthy of display and its pH value has been stabilised for the future. The owner is also pleased to note that its resale value is now considerably more than the £14 marked in pencil on the reverse side.
