Beautiful map of all Italy, with Sardinia and Corsica but only the northern part of Sicily. Embellished with a fine title cartouche attributing the map to Philipp Cluver, flanked by an eagle atop a sphere and Cybele, goddess of towns. A sea monster and several sailing ships fill the seas. Blank verso, published in Pieter de Hondt's Description Exacte de l'Univers, ou l'Ancienne Geographie Sacree et Profane, a French edition of Georgius Hornius' Accuratissima Orbis Antiqui Delineatio, which included maps from Johannes Jansson's historical atlas and Abraham Ortelius' Parergon.
