Rivers and mountains dominate this uncommon map with the locations of cities and villages carefully noted. The title and a notation are enclosed in a drape-style cartouche at top, flanked by two Turks. Although Petrini credits Sanson, the map closely resembles that of Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola, published in 1686.
References: Zacharakis #2116.
Condition: A
Printed on heavy, watermarked paper with original outline color and later coloring in the cartouche. There is a bit of light toning along sheet edges.
