This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Map of Creta from 1554, created by Battista Agnese. The map, measuring 26x40 cm, is displayed on vellum and showcases the island of Crete in all its glory.
Battista Agnese's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in this cartographic masterpiece, with towns and cities meticulously depicted along with a single ship sailing through the waters. The scale of the map is approximately 1:3,000,000 with North oriented at 180 degrees.
