Europe - Mediterranean Sea region; Danckerts / Wetstein - De Reyse des Apostels Pauli na Roomen etc. - 1721

Condition: good. With folds as issued. Slightly browned. Verso: Dutch text.

This beautiful map of Europe (excluding Scandinavia) and the Mediterranean illustrates St. Paul’s journeys from Jerusalem to Rome. The title appears in a panel at the top. Clearly engraved, with good detail throughout and simply embellished with three compass roses. The map was engraved by Albert Schut and published in a Dutch Bible, first by Danckerts, then by R & J Wetstein and William Smith in Amsterdam and Samuel Luchtmans in Leiden, and finally by I.B. Elwe. This is the third state, with Danckerts’s imprint on the left removed and replaced by Wetstein, Smith, and Luchtmans.
