This is a beautiful map of southern Italy with north oriented to the left as identified by the handsome compass rose. The map is filled with detail and based on the work of Pirro Ligorio who was best known as an architect involved in the building of St. Peter's in Rome. The title is contained in a flowing banner and a fine sailing ship further adorns the map. German text on verso.

A nice impression with full contemporary color on a sheet with a small coat of arms watermark, light toning along the centerfold, minor soiling, and a couple of small abrasions just above the title cartouche. There is a short centerfold separation at bottom that has been partially repaired with old paper on recto.
