  • Amsterdam: circa 1680.
  • Original color.
  • This work is presented unframed.


One of the most decorative maps of Sicily, with inset plans of Messina, Milazzo, Palermo, Catania and Trapezo. Vignette sea-battles and the detail of the fortifications of the cities give evidence to the continuing conflict between the Europeans and the Turks.
