Astypalaia Aegean Sea Dodecanese Greek Islands Stampalia 1683 Mallet map

Isle de Stampalia.

(Europe, Greece, Aegean Sea, Dodecanese Islands, Astypalaia, Stampalia).

Issued 1683, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 17th century copper engraved map with lovely hand color. Sailing ships add a nice visual appeal.

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.
