Polar Regions — Five Antique Maps c.1750-1800

A collection of five antique maps of the Arctic and Antarctic regions — the frozen frontiers of 18th-century cartography.

Five copper-engraved maps depicting the polar regions as charted between c.1750 and 1800, including work after Philippe Buache. These maps capture a period when the poles were still largely speculative — blank spaces filled with theory and imagination. Sold as a set.

Medium: Copper engravings | Era: c.1750-1800 | Condition: As expected for age. Show beautifully as a group.
