Maker: Reproduction.
High-quality hand-printed and hand colored reproduction of an antique view of Venice, Italy, by Friedrich Bernhard Werner, 18th century. Text lists the buildings with numbers that correspond to numbers on the buildings in the image. The Piazza San Marco is at center and there are many ships and gondolas in the water. Made using a combination of modern technology and traditional methods, wherein an original is scanned, its likeness is digitally etched onto an engraving plate, then the plate is used to print the image in the traditional way, with a printing press. It is then hand colored, including metallic gold paint on the border. Approx. 10 x 30.5 inches to the image border. Has some imperfections that give the map a more authentic look. Smaller version available, see code REP400. For other reproductions made in this method, please see the left side bar category "Digitally Engraved Specialty Reproductions".
