Description

A classic collector's map of Northern Europe, after Olaus Magnus and Zeno, showing Britain and Scandinavia in detail, but also showing Greenland, part of North America and the mythical islands of Frisland, Brasil & St. Brendan. 'Drogeo' is believed to represent Newfoundland. In the Arctic (which is depicted in the form of Mercator's map of the North Pole) is a note 'Pigmys live here'!

Condition:

Tear in top margin, just entering map area, skilfully repaired; slight marking caused by printer's ink left on the surface of the map.
