This map based on the Ptolemy earlier map was originally published in the 1578 in Duisburg. Gerardus Mercator, map author, was the supreme cartographer, his name, second only to Ptolemy, synonymous with the form of map projection still in use today. A wonderful map by the father of cartography. Artwork recreated as framed handmade vellum pyro engraving.
