Historical Map of the Kingdom of Bohemia, handmade paper, *Regni Bohemiae Nova et Exacta Descriptio*
Regni Bohemiae Nova et Exacta Descriptio
A reproduction of one of the most famous historical maps of the Kingdom of Bohemia from the early 17th century. The map depicts the Czech lands as they appeared at that time, with a dense network of towns, rivers, forests, and trade routes. Along the sides are depictions of figures from that era representing various social classes, which lend the work a representative and artistic character.
The map was created during the heyday of European cartography and stands as an important testament to the appearance of the Czech landscape and settlements more than four hundred years ago. In addition to its historical value, it captivates with its rich ornamentation and precise craftsmanship typical of old map sheets.
Suitable as a decoration for a study, library, or historically themed interior, but also as an original gift for lovers of history, cartography, and Czech cultural heritage.
