This boldly engraved map of Corsica was originally issued on a folio sheet with a map of Sardinia, which has been removed in this example. The map is filled with depictions of the topography and cities and stands on its own with full borders and a strapwork cartouche. Latin text on verso, published between 1589-95.
References: Van der Krogt (Vol. I) #7520:1A.1.
Condition: B+
A nice impression with minor toning and dampstains confined to the blank margins. Narrow right margin due to the map of Sardinia being removed from this example.
