"Daciarum Moesiarum et Thraciae Vetus et Nova Descriptio", Cluver, Philipp

Appealing small map of the area of Romania and Bulgaria centered on the Danube River, decorated with an allegorical strapwork cartouche.

Cluver's Introductio in Universam Geographicam was a popular atlas, appearing in over 45 editions during a 100-year period. The first edition was published without maps in the 1620s, and the first edition to include maps was published circa 1641. The various editions were published in different cities throughout Europe, including Amsterdam, Nuremberg, and London. This map is from an Amsterdam edition, edited by Bruzen de la Martiniere with maps by Jan Wolters and four newly engraved maps after Delisle.
