"Oost Zyde van Calabria", Doncker, Henrick

This rare sea chart of the eastern coastline of the Italian regions Calabria, Basilicata and Puglia extends to include the northeastern tip of Sicily a small part of the coastline of Albania and Greece. With north oriented to the right, the map depicts anchorages and navigational hazards. A decorative strapwork title cartouche, sailing and oared ships engaged in battle, and two compass roses complete the composition.
