MAP OF VALLSECA
Summary:
Description:
A unique and luxury piece of cartographic from the year 1439, not only for its aesthetic beauty but also an important and faithful portrait of the moment: about notions and knowledge of the epoch referring to physical and political geography, about the flora and fauna, about uses and costume, shields and flags showing each territory, showing which dynasty they belong to and shows the existence of kingdoms of several monarchies. Done on a parchment paper in fine manufacturing in order to be a luxury product. The gothic min-iatures with gold and pigments give a sensation of a beauty which is really difficult to forget. Be-tween the most iconic owners of the map we should mention Chopin and George Sand.
