Description

Striking map of the area centered on the Near East and India, with imagery depicting creation, surrounding by the signs of the Zodiac and allegorical depiction of the four elements in the corners.

The circular map covers the area between Arabia and India, with the Caspian Sea at the top and numerous animals throughout, including a unicorn, and sea monsters in the sea.

A marvelous allegorical map, from Scherer's epic work, one of the great late 17th and early 18th Century cartographic works, which is especially prized for its stunning engraving and evocative images.
