Description:
This rare map is one of a set of the four known continents that Melchior Tavernier had engraved, with or without Petrus Bertius permission. A magnificent map of the continent, the geography is typical for the 17th century and filled with spurious rivers, mountains and kingdoms. The map is embellished with a variety of exotic animals, ships, sea monsters and Neptune with his consort. The map itself bears only the name P. Bertius and is based on Hondius’s map of 1631.
