... Du Grand Royaume De Moscovie .../... La Parte Meridionale
|
A finely engraved, detailed, large-scale map of Moscovy, Russia in Europe, from the northern coasts of the Sea of Azof and the Caspian to the Arctic. The northern sheet features a decorative title cartouche at top right whilst the southern has a running title at the upper border. Visscher's map is particularly finely engraved with these impressions being apparently early pulls from the plate. These plates were unusually large in size and consequently had a relatively short life due to having to be folded into an atlas volume format. A rare pair.
