"Fezzae et Marocchi Regna Africae Celeberrima, describebat Abrah: Ortelius", Merian, Matthaus

This is a small version of Blaeu's decorative map of Morocco oriented with north on the right and including the Strait of Gibraltar. It is based on the cartography of Abraham Ortelius who is credited in the cartouche. The Atlantic is filled with five sailing ships, including two engaged in battle. Two dancing satyrs brandishing their javelins flank the large title cartouche.

A nice impression on paper with a circle and a cross watermark. There is a tiny hole near the border of Fez and Morocco and faint damp stains in the lower margin.
