Leaf from Sebastian Munster's "Cosmographia Universalis"

View Item Record

Notes:

From Sebastian Munster's "Cosmographia Universalis". The edition of the book from which this leaf was taken was printed in 1559 by Heinrich Petri at Basle. The woodcuts of this piece are important because they have the initials of the engraver- a rare thing to see in early illustrated books. The recto side of the leaf is page 559 and the verso side is page 560.
