"Europa Delineata et Recens Edita", Visscher, Nicolas

This handsome map of Europe extends from Iceland and the western coast of Greenland to the northern coast of Africa. Finely engraved details include cities and topography. The title cartouche is flanked by figures representing the bounties of Europe. A splendid cartouche to the right dedicates the map to Simon van Hoorn, a burgomeister of Amsterdam.
