"Mare Mediterraneum, exhibins oras Hispaniae, Galliae, Italiae, Mare Hadriaticum, Archipeligus, Natoliam, Aegyptum…", Valck, Gerard and Leonard

Striking, large map of the Mediterranean on two joined sheets. The map describes the entire Mediterranean in great detail. A portion of the Black Sea is noted and detailed as well. This map is filled with minute detail, and the islands of Cyprus, Crete, Morea, Sicily, Malta, Sardinia and Corsica are very well described. A very unusual and quite engrossing map.
