(Old Prints, 17th Century Prints, Europe, Ottoman Empire, Greece, Dodecanese Islands, Leros, Kalymnos, Kos).

Issued 1683, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 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.
