Greece Kinaras Kalymnos Leros Dodecanese Islands Greek Islands 1683 Mallet Map Balkans & Greece

Is. D'Amorgo et de Zinara.(Old Maps, 17th Century Maps, Europe, Aegean Islands, Dodecanese Islands, Greece, Kinaros, Kalymnos, Leros). Issued 1683, Paris, for A. M. Mallet. Charming and decorative little 17th century copper engraved map with lovely hand color. The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason. Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina. Sheet measures c. 7 7/8" H x 5 7/8" W. Printed area measures c. 5 1/2" H x 4" W. Cartographic Reference (s):Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers, vol. 3, pp. 196.[B12322].
