Description

Waldseemuller's large-format map of the Ptolemaic world, surrounded by wind heads. Published in one of two identical editions of Ptolemy's Geography, which was regarded as the first modern atlas because of the inclusion of new, up-to-date maps.

Condition:

Very slight trimming at the top of the sheet, a common occurrence due to the size of the map.

References:

SHIRLEY: World 34, 'Visually, it is one of the most attractive Ptolemiac world maps produced.'
