Charming map of the island nation with north oriented to the right of the map. Only a bit of the Indian mainland is shown and it is incorrectly shown to the east of the island. Strapwork title cartouche, compass rose and a stipple engraved sea combine to make this a very attractive map. On a full sheet of Italian text.
