Description
This is a grand, large, classic map of Europe, produced at the golden age of the Dutch mape making. It is surrounded the carte-de-figures style with vignettes on three sides. Plenty of detail is shown of Europe - settlements, rivers, lakes, topography, etc. The upper frieze has nine birds-eye-views of Amsterdam, Prague, Constantinople, Venice, Rome, Paris, London, Toledo and Lisbon. The side borders contain the costumes of the noblemen and women of ten European nations. It is embellished with sailing ships, sea monsters, bears and Neptune riding a dolphin and holding his trident. German text on verso.
