Very attractive world map. Text in German in ornamented gothic and latin. Two polar hemispheres in corners. The acclaimed Swiss engraver Matthew Merian prepared this world map from Blaeu’s world map, but is about two thirds of the size. Originally published in 1638, this copy, without Merian’s signature was prepared for Gottfried’s Archontologica in 1646.

Excellent condition. Mounted size: 52 x 43.5cm.
