"Marocchi Regnum", Hondius/Purchas

This very attractive small map of Morocco is decorated with mountains, cities, and forests filling the land. The capital city of Marruecos (Marrakech) is prominently shown. The map is adorned with two birds perched atop a large strapwork cartouche. The map originally appeared in the Mercator/Hondius Atlas Minor and was used here by Purchas with the additional title above the map, "The Map of the Kingdome of Marocco, or Maruecos." On a sheet of English text measuring 8.3 x 13.4".
