Euboea & Skyros Ottoman Empire Greek Islands Naval Battle 1685 Mallet color map

Ils. de Schiro et Negroponte.

(Old Maps, 17th Century Maps, Europe, Ottoman Empire, Greece, Negroponte, Euboea, Skyros, Naval Battle).

Issued 1685, Paris/ Frankfurt for A.M. Mallet by Zunner.

Charming 17th century copper engraved print with lovely hand color. A superior visual example.

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. Blank on reverse.

Sheet measures c. 7 7/8" H x 5 7/8" W.

Printed area measures c. 5 1/2" H x 4" W.
