Anglia Et Hibernia Nova
|
This particular map is from the 1599 volume of "Geografia Di Tolomeo ..." and shows Ruscelli's map of the 'modern' British Isles slightly revised since its first appearance. Ruscelli's map used George Lily's outline for the British Isles. Major cities are named, rivers and areas of high ground are marked, and a sailing ship and sea monsters are added in the surrounding waters. Latin text to verso. Laid on archival tissue. Minor stitching holes at centrefold.
