"Graeciae Universae Secundum Hodiernum Situm Neoterica Descriptio", Ortelius, Abraham

This fine map of Greece and its surroundings was based on the work of Giacomo Gastaldi. It is very detailed and includes the islands in the Aegean Sea. The map is embellished by a sailing ship and a large ornate strapwork cartouche. The seas are fully and laboriously stipple engraved. Latin text on verso, published between 1595-1609.
