Mercator-Cloppenburgh: : Fretum Magellanicum

19 x 26 cms, old outline hand-colour, numbered in an old hand in upper margin, two small wormholes in the right-hand margin, Latin text on verso.

In the 1630s Jan Cloppenburgh published a series of editions of Mercator’s Atlas Minor which have become scarce. The maps were engraved by Pieter van den Keere and are distinctively larger than the preceeding examples.
