"[Lot of 2] Hollanda [and] Isole Selandie", Porcacchi, Tomaso

Two very fine copper-engraved charts in the Italian style with fully stippled seas, depicting the Netherlands with the islands of Zeeland, and part of Flanders to the south. Cities are illustrated with miniature castles and include Rotterdam, Breda, Polder, and Brussels. Each map is adorned with a strapwork title cartouche and a compass rose. Engraved by Girolamo Porro and printed on full sheets (7 x 10.3") of Italian text.

Lovely color and minor soiling with manuscript writing in blank margins. <i>Hollanda</i> also has a couple of small manuscript marks in the map image.
