Novamente reviste, corrected, & expanded ........ in Brescia, M.D.X.C.IX. (1599)."
Beautiful map published in ITALY, with wide margins, excellent well marked watercolor and very well detailed in every point.
Conditions: the conditions are very good as shown in the photos and considering its almost 450 years of age; however, there are some harmless halos well outside the area (Map....) drawn.
The overall measurements of the map are: 16 x 22 cm 67530275
