A strong impression of Lorenz Fries' Ptolemaic map of the islands. Fries' edition of "Geographia" was a slightly reduced size version of that published by Martin Waldseemuller some nine years earlier, maps from which are very rarely seen on the market. This first edition of the new woodblock is identified by the elegant scroll in which the title appears.
