Tabula Asiae Minoris, 1525, Strasbourg

There are graduations of latitude on the eastern and western borders and below is a scale-bar (about 90 Italian miles to the inch). The title appears on a scroll above the map and, on the verso, descriptive text in Latin headed "Tabula Moder. Asiae Minoris", contained within two large panels surrounded by elaborate illuminations. A rare example of early woodblock cartography. A near fine example with wide margins.
