Verso: Text in Latin

Antwerp, 1588

Very good condition. Beautiful exemplar!

Very, very attractive map with Berlin, the German capital, directly in the center. The map is beautifully and richly adorned with a surrounding decorative bordure and a very attractive Renaissance title cartouche.

The typical 16th century hand coloring is making this map a most beautiful wall decoration.

Map reaches from Wittenberg on the Elbe downstream to near Lauenburg on the Elbe river. We find "Frisch he Haff near Stettin on this map as well as Neu Mark, Spreewald. Throughout the map we see a multitude of rivers and smaller waterways, like veins, meandering through the landscape giving this map structure. Asked for my opinion I wouldd say: This is definitely one of the most decorative prints from the first world atlas .

Sehr attraktive Landkarte der Mark Brandenburg mit der Hauptstadt Deutschlands, Berlin, direkt in der Mitte.Die umlaufende Borduere und die Renaissance-Kartusche, sowie das sehr attraktive Handkolorit im Renaissance-Stil und das Geaeder zahlreicher Fluesse geben der Karte einen hohen Dekorationswert als Wandschmuck. Die Karte reicht vom Stettiner Haff im Norden bis Wittenberg und der Lausitz im Süden, von der VW-Stadt Wolfsburg im Westen bis zum Trage-Fluss im Osten.

Sehr guter Erhaltungszustand. Sehr attraktives Exemplar.
