Fine, fresh copy of this scarce map of the eastern Baltic, northern Poland and Russia, drawn by Gastaldi, a cartographer based in Venice, widely regarded as the greatest cartographer of his day. This version was engraved and published by Paolo Forlani, a leading figure of the Italian school of mapmaking. Forlani's version is better known than the original, as he achieved greater distribution.

Engraved map, 370 x 515mm (14.5 x 20.25 inches), trimmed to the outer engraved border, and inland for inclusion in a contemporary composite atlas.

Tooley, Maps In Italian Atlases, 454; Woodward, Maps And Prints Of Paolo Forlani, 79; Karrow, Mapmakers Of The Sixteenth Century, 30/96.1a.
