1920 Anciente Mappe of Fairyland

What a joyful fantasy is this 72" x 22" Anciente Mappe of Fairyland, done by Bernard Sleigh about 1920! There is something magical and exciting about just about any map of a far-off land, and its hard to imagine a more magical map that this imaginative triumph, which creatively interweaves dozens of old children's stories and fairytales to create a dreamlike-kingdom. 

Children and adults alike will delight in searching out the near-limitless fantastical places and scenes whimsically depicted across this expansive map. A delight for the imagination, and a perfect children's gift or centerpiece for the bedroom or nursery. 

This 'Mappe' is printed on Arches BFK Rives 100% Cotton Rag paper, handmade at the Blanchet Frères & Kléber paper mill in Rives, France on a traditional cylinder paper mould. The random pattern of the fibers on this luxuriant paper lends a supple, cloth-like appearance to the whole map. 

* NOTE: This is a carefully crafted print of the highest quality, but it is not the original work.
