An uncommon map of Europe, extending to the Middle East and the northern tip of Africa, as it was during the time of the Roman Empire. The map is filled with ancient placenames and pictorial topography. It is decorated with two superb cartouches supported by cherubs. Drawn by Nicolas Blankaart for Jan Jansson.
