1574 Descrittione Del L'Isola Di Milo

This is an authentic antique map of the Greek island of Milos and its numerous surrounding islands by Tomaso Porcacchi. The map was published in the book L'Isole piu Famose del Mondo in Venice, circa 1576. This map of Milos exhibits lovely old color. Cities, towns and other smaller islands are noted throughout. Curious sea creatures and a baroque style cartouche add decorative elements to the map. The map itself is about 4.25 x 5.5 inches on a page that includes Italian text on the front and back.
