This map centers on the Mediterranean Sea, which is filled with sea monsters and galleons, several engaged in battle. The map depicts the regions surrounding the Mediterranean, showing key rivers, cities and mountain ranges. The decorative title cartouche fills the Black Sea, and a vignette in northern Africa depicts European, Turkish and African men discussing a map of the Mediterranean, while a dog snarls at a cat beneath the table. Date 1700 but published in 1703.
