British Isles.- After Ziroldi (active first half of the 15th century) Portolan chart of the British Isles, pen and brownish-black ink, watercolour and gouache, heightened with gold, presented within double ruled border, on vellum, sheet 230 x 250 mm. (9 x 9 3/4 in), two folding creases, other minor handling creases to extremities, surface dirt and finger-soiling, adhesive stains visible verso to corners, unframed, [probably late 18th, early 19th century] ⁂ The present work closely relates to the upper left hand section of the portolan chart executed circa 1422 by the Venetian mapmaker known as Ziroldi (alternatively known as Giacomo Giroldi or Jachobus de Ziroldis), with this larger chart that it derives from covering the northeast Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and is currently held in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Département Cartes et Plans, [see Registre C; 11048]. The original chart is recorded by Pujades (2007, no.
