A woodcut map of the Americas

ROSACCIO, Giuseppe.

America.
Venice, c.1620. Woodcut, sheet 150 x 170mm.

A very fine impression.

A miniature map of the Americas, printed from two blocks but in this example printed closer together than usual, with a letterpress sur-title. It first appeared in Rosaccio's 'Theatro del Cielo' in 1595 but was used in this and other publications until at least 1715.
