La Secunde Table Generale selon Ptol. From: “La Cosmographie Universelle.”
Double-page. French text on verso.
11 x 14 inches (28 x 36 cm) to mat. Framed.
Basel, 1555 (first edition: 1540):
Munster's depiction of Ptolemy’s World Map. Both Asia and Africa extend endlessly, while the Atlantic Ocean ends abruptly with a straight line of land. The ornate border portrays the winds as puffing putti.
