"Insular Aliquot Aegaei Maris Antiqua Descrip…", Jansson, Jan

This sheet contains several maps of Mediterranean islands in classical times, all based in part on Ortelius. The central map [Euboea Insula] describes the Greek island Euboea and is surrounded by nine maps of other islands. This composition includes the islands of Sardinia and Corsica [Insularum Sardiniae et Corsicae Antiqua Descriptio] at top instead of Cyprus, as on Ortelius' map. Each shows tiny villages, rivers and mountains in profile and is decorated by sailing ships, except for Samos, which is adorned with a sea monster.
