Meet Circio, a lively wind from Francesco Berlinghieri's world map of 1482! Sometimes called Circius (Latin) or Thraskius (Greek), Circio is one of the mistrals, blowing from the north-west. Windheads are often found on old maps. They each have a specific name and characteristics, and were important for navigation as well as agriculture.
This gorgeous little image is a unique intaglio print: each one is hand-inked and hand-pressed from a bespoke polymer plate, using a traditional printing press. The generous margin means that Circio can be displayed on a little easel, in a frame, or simply propped up on a shelf.
Image 8cm x 8cm, overall size 12cm x 12cm.
Open edition. Each print comes with a certificate of authenticity.
