DISCORSO INTORNO ALLA CARTA DA NAVIGARE

Sold

This beautiful little nautical world map, engraved by Girolamo Porro, was one of two world maps included in Porcacchi's popular pocket-sized atlas. It covers most of the world, excluding far eastern Asia and the western coast of North America; thus alluding to a connection between the two. The Terra Incognita landmass dominates the bottom of the map. The handsome map is filled with rhumb lines and the seas are fully stippled. Printed on a full sheet (29*21 cms) of Italian text.

Uncoloured as issued.
