A large, and quite beautiful, mid-17th century engraved map with lovely hand color. We see Sarmatia w/ rivers, mountain ranges and cities as they existed in this era. Featured are herdsmen, one with a bagpipe-type instrument, with sheep and dog. "Alexandri columne" is denoted by two pillars, and the eastern part of Sarmatia, Europe has what appears to be a burning furnace. Exquisite title cartouche at top right.
Appears to be a scarce mid-17th century Mercator map, in VG+ to near excellent condition. Fold line, as issued, with a couple of minor extraneous creases. A splendid hand colored map w/ 17th century charm - much nicer in person as the images really do not do justice. Will look fantastic framed.
Sheet measures c. 21" x 16 1/2". Image area measures c. 16" x 13 1/2".
