Title: Europa

Map Maker: Matthias Quad /  Johann Bussemachaer

Description:

Scarce early map of the Europe from Quad's Europae totius orbis terrarum, published by Johann Bussemacher.

Quad's map is a marvelous amalgam of late 16th Century cartography, drawing primarily from the maps of Ortelius and Mercator. Includes an interesting scene of Nomadic Tartar tents in the east. Rich dark impression and full color, with wide margins.
