"D'Reyse des Apostels Pauli na Roomen Etc.", Schut, Albert

This fine map of Europe (except Scandinavia) and the Mediterranean illustrates the travels of St. Paul from Jerusalem to Rome. The title is in a panel across the top. Crisply engraved with good detail throughout and simply decorated with three compass roses. The map was engraved by Albert Schut and published in a Dutch Bible, first by Danckerts, second by R & J Wetstein and William Smith in Amsterdam and Samuel Luchtmans in Leiden, and last by I.B. Elwe. This is the first state, published by Cornelis Danckerts. Dutch text on verso.

A dark impression on a bright sheet, issued folding and now flattened. There are professional repairs to several short fold separations, a couple of tiny edge tears that barely pass the neatline, and a chip confined to the top blank margin.
