Description

Rare map by Du Pinet; in a smaller size after the ones first published by Arquer-Münster in 1550.

Map taken from the very rare "Plantz, pourtraitz et descriptions de plusieurs villes et forteresses, tant de l'Europe, Asie, & Afrique, que des Indes, & terres neuves: Leurs fondations, antiquitez, & manieres de vivre: Avec plusieurs cartes generales & particulieres, servans à la Cosmographie, iointes à leurs declarations: deux tables fort amples, l'une des chapitres, & l'autre des matieres contenues en ce present livre. Le tout mis par ordre, region par region, par Antoine du Pinets" printed in Lyon by Jean d’Ogerolles.

The work include 55 woodcuts, many after Munster, comprising 3 double-page maps (cordiform world after Apianus, Europe and Germany), 7 half-page maps, 18 double-page views (including Lyon, Bordeaux, Geneva, Frankfurt, Florence, Venice, Rome, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cusco and others), and 27 illustrations (including Mexico city).

Woodcut, text and vignette on the verso, in very good condition.
