Antique Map of Africa by Hondius and Jansson Poster
Vintage illustration antique map of Africa by Hondius and Jansson, 1635. Africae nova Tabula.
This map is filled with fictitious rivers and mountains with the origin of the Nile conforming to the Ptolemaic tradition of twin lakes located below the equator. The Kingdom of Monomotapa fills the entire southern tip of Africa which is now shown as more rounded. The oceans have ships, flying fish and sea monsters, while elephants, lions, zebras, ostriches and other exotic animals are on land. The border includes insets with 10 sets of costumed figures, representing the indigenous peoples of Africa and six city views along the top. The cartouche features a clock with Roman numerals and a bell, the face of the clock is a skull surrounded by the rays of the sun

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame.
This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again.
One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up.
Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font.
Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.

Zazzle's pictures are Amazing - I can't find these Products in the type of papers I need anywhere else. They cut them to the exact size you need , often changing the proportions to your exact requirement,
The Customer Support are second to none , helpful, friendly and polite .
Incredible Company - The prices are Great and so much to choose from. The Prints are clear and well Defined.
