Description
original outline-coloured copper engraving.
RARE map from ‘Atlante Novissimo’, vol. 4; A terrific example of Italian craftsmenship with a highly fictional cartouche image more reminiscent of an Italian country scene than a Philippine setting, thus very charming. A rare example of copying from the Murillo de Velarde map without attribution.
