Description

Detailed 2-sheet map of the Mediterranean and North Africa, by Richard Blome.

The map extends from the Morocco and the Straits of Gibralter to Cyprus and the Red Sea, centered on Sicily and Malta. Includes many sailing ships, sea monsters, lions, elephants, ostriches, etc. Perhaps the earliest map of the region to appear in an English atlas.

Blome's Geographical Description of the World in Four Parts was the first English Atlas of the the World engraved and published in England. This map was engraved by Francis Lamb.

Map showing how Smallpox spread | From East to West, by caravans of traders and by travels by armies and by ships, Smallpox spread its cloak over the world, and was only checked at last, by Vaccination

This map, designed to dramatize the global devastation of smallpox, visualizes the disease’s progress westward across continents and centuries. At its top, a sinister orange cloaked figure, personified as the face of smallpox, unfurls over the northern hemisphere, casting rays of infection across the globe. Trade routes and military paths are illustrated with galleons, camel caravans, and marching soldiers, each representing the conduits through which smallpox moved “from East to West… by caravans of traders and by travelers, by armies and by ships.”
