A beautiful 17th century map of Sicily

DE WIT, Frederick.

Insula sive Regnum Siciliæ Urbibus præcipuis exornatum.
Amsterdam, c.1680, Fine original colour. 495 x 590mm.

The best example of this map we have seen.

One of the most decorative maps of Sicily, with inset plans of Messina, Milazzo, Palermo, Catania and Trapezo. Vignette sea-battles and the detail of the fortifications of the cities give evidence to the continuing conflict between the Europeans and the Turks.
