AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The original title is 'Povgle Piane, Pevcetie, or Land of Bari,' with a very detailed depiction of ancient Peucezia, the Gulf of Taranto, the Otranto Channel, and the main towns of Apulia: Bari, Brindisi, Lecce, Otranto, Taranto, Polignano, Monopoli, Gravina, Altamura, etc.

Specimen with period coloration, in excellent condition, featuring the typical 16th-century Dutch colors.
The sea is decorated with waves with a silver net-like appearance and a baroque sailing ship.

On the back side, the original text in French is present.

Small lack of paper in the upper left margin (outside the engraved image) and a slight old water stain in the same corner. Nothing that affects the incision. Otherwise, the sheet is solid, with very fresh antique coloring and the back side text complete.
