Kunyu Wanguo Quantu 1602 Japanese World Map Poster
Kunyu Wanguo Quantu (Chinese: 坤輿萬國全圖; pinyin: Kūnyú Wànguó Quántú; literally "A Map of the Myriad Countries of the World"; Italian: Carta Geografica Completa di tutti i Regni del Mondo, "Complete Geographical Map of all the Kingdoms of the World"), printed in China at the request of the Wanli Emperor during 1602 by the Italian Catholic missionary Matteo Ricci and Chinese collaborators, Mandarin Zhong Wentao and the technical translator, Li Zhizao, is the earliest known Chinese world map with the style of European maps. It has been referred to as the Impossible Black Tulip of Cartography, "because of its rarity, importance and exoticism". The map was crucial in expanding Chinese knowledge of the world. It was later exported to Japan and was influential there as well. This work is in the public domain in the United States, and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 100 years or less. Author Matteo Ricci

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.
