About this illustration
Asiae Secunda Pars Terrae in Forma Pegasi (Asia in the Form of Pegasus) by Heinrich Bünting (1581). The horse’s head represents Asia Minor, wings Central Asia and Siberia, the Caspian Sea lies between the wings and saddle, the forelegs represent Arabia, and the hind legs the Indian and Malay Peninsulas. The horse is drawn quite realistically, so the map itself is not very accurate.
Craft & finishThis historical map art print is made on hand-processed paper, highlighted with subtle gold and sealed with beeswax for an authentic parchment feel. Please note that colors can look slightly different from screen to screen.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
In case your print creases during the travel, as it usually does travel for some time, you can safely warm it up with a hair-dryer, and the wax will melt back right into it. You can also use a lighter, which is a much faster method, but be careful to keep the flame either above the paper or parallel to it (which means holding the paper vertically) so it doesn't smudge or even catch fire. The chance of the print actually creasing is very small, as they are rolled in bubble-wrap and shipped in a cardboard box.Also, be sure to keep the print out of the direct sunlight, as it can melt or fade.
