This is a reduced version of Mercator's map of Turkey with the Greek Archipelago and Cyprus. Adorned with a strapwork cartouche and moire patterned seas. Engraved by Pieter van den Keere.

Cluver's Introductio in Universam Geographicam was a popular atlas, appearing in over 45 editions during a 100-year period. The first edition was published without maps in the 1620s, and the first edition to include maps was published circa 1641. The various editions were published in different cities throughout Europe, including Amsterdam, Nuremberg, and London, often with new sets of maps engraved. This map is from an Amsterdam edition published by Jansson's heirs, which included some maps from the Jansson and Cloppenburgh editions of Atlas Minor.

A nice impression on a bright sheet with minor toning along the edges of the sheet. The margins are a bit narrow, as issued, but still sufficient for framing.
