Nice example of Mercator's map of Greece from Mercator's edition of Ptolemy's Geographia, first published in 1578 and republished in Amsterdam beginning in 1695.
Includes a Sea Monster, cartouche and a detailed treatment of the region.
Gerard Mercator published his edition of Ptolemy’s maps as what he intended as a companion to his Atlas of the Modern World. Beginning with the 1695 edition, the plates were re-worked, substituting a new cartouche within the map, containing a second title.
