A delightful mid-16th century wood block map of Turkey, from the monumental work by Sebastian Munster - "Cosmography". From a very rare Italian edition of 1568, printed by Henrigo Pietro in Basel.
The wood block image displays a wonderful medieval stylism and vitality quite particular and unique to wood-engraved maps of this vintage. Expertly hand-colored. Just above Cyprus is a large Sea Serpent!
Quite a scarce map, a nice impression, mostly clean condition, well preserved for its sheer age. Because the map was printed on a nice heavier paper, there is just a most minimal amount of "show through", much less than typically seen on Munster maps.
c. 8 " W x 11 3/4 " H sheet, (image size is c. 7 " W x 5 1/4 " H).
