Description:
Protestant theologian Heinrich Bunting's map portraying Europe as a queen is one of the most sought after anthropomorphic maps of the sixteenth century. His distinctive version of the map appears to be a larger and more finely engraved edition than those which appear in the usual Hanover and Magdeberg editions. Includes additional place names and the date 1548 in the lower right corner. There is also no text on the verso.
