"Graecia Vetus ex Schaedis Sansonianis desumpta, in qua Macedonia, Thessalia, Epirus, Achaia et Peloponesus…", Robert de Vaugondy

A large, handsome map of ancient Greece that is based on Nicolas Sanson's work. This example includes Crete and the smaller islands, Asia Minor and the Turkish coast. Numerous place names, cities, villages and topography are shown. A lovely decorative title cartouche and a pair of distance scales embellish the map.
