In stock
A beautiful and finely-engraved table of the winds, with heads suspended in clouds blowing onto a central compass rose. The concentric rings have the names of the winds in Greek, Latin, Italian, German, French and Dutch.
This was the first plate in Jansson's 'Water-Weereld', the first sea atlas (as opposed to a pilot book), which was the fifth volume of the ' Atlas Major'.
