Lot Details & Additional Photographs
(Amsterdam, circa 1690s), copperplate engraving with hand color, showing southern Greece, the map bordered with fourteen vignettes of prominent Greek cities such as Athens, Corinth, and Sparta; the cartouche is of special interest as it commemorates a recent defeat of the Turks by the Venetians; blank verso.
Plate 19-7/8 x 30-1/8 in.; sheet 21-1/4 x 31-1/8 in.
Age toning with some spotting throughout; overall good condition, though five of the city views have losses not affecting the subjects within; worthy of restoration given the map's rarity, visual appeal, and historical importance.
