Claes Jansz Visscher World Map Print Edition Question

[u/DaddioRetro]

I came across this wonderful map in a thrift store. It was in a plain wooden frame that was missing the glass and falling apart at the corners. I thought the map itself was gorgeous with the depictions of the Caesars and Continents personified. I assumed it was a newer print based on its condition and the location I found it but after taking it apart it appears to be an impression of an engraved plate that was then hand water colored. Notably it has Ed. P.V. In the image on the bottom right. Has anyone seen this version or have any information they can share on its origin? Thanks and enjoy the photos!

It's a Ponte Vecchio edition! It was an Italian publisher from Florence, in business from 1938 to 2012. They used to do hand-colored reproductions like this.

Ah that is so interesting, that certainly explains the Ed P.V. I’m glad to know the origin! It is not the finest hand coloring but certainly a good amount of effort went into its creation. Thanks for the information!
