About This Design

Historic Map of the American Continents Wrapping Paper

Historic Map of the American Continents Wrapping Paper

This design features a map of the Americas (including the regions occupied by the modern-day countries of the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and other Latin American and Caribbean nations) created by the Dutch cartographer Willem Blaeu (1571–1638), which was originally published in 1617. The Latin title of the map is "Americae Nova Tabula", which means "New Map of American Land". Blaeu's map represents the incomplete and imperfect state of geographical knowledge at the time it was produced, however, in many ways it is surprisingly accurate: for example, it correctly shows Tierra del Fuego at the tip of South America as an island. (A Dutch expedition under Willem Cornelisz Schouten and Jacob le Maire had just circumnavigated the world in 1615-1616 and had discovered a new passage—the Strait of Le Maire, shown on the map as "Fretum le Maire"—south of Magellan's strait, which proved that Tierra del Fuego was indeed an island.)

I love this paper and it was large enough to put on the back of a glazed cabinet. It’s had lots of comments. I painted the interior to extend the image and it was very pleased with the result.

I really liked this product, the picture is lovely and the colours are really nice. I wanted it to up-cycle a writing bureau and I was concerned that the paper may be too thin. But it wasn't and it worked fine. On the pictures I have uploaded the print looks a bit aged and not so vivid and new looking. As I wanted an aged patina but the actual print is clearer and the colours are brighter. The colour and prints are good.

Very strong quality paper used. I used it to cover a lampshade, and it looks stunning now. Vibrant and vivid. Such lovely colours.
