Stunning map with three decorative cartouches and a large inset of the harbor and city of Syracuse. The map locates numerous smaller islands and extends to show a small part of the mainland of Italy. Jansson based this map on Abraham Ortelius' map, which was based on Gastaldi's map of Sicily from 1545. The map is adorned with a globe, Neptune and his dolphins, angels, and an eagle.
