Livoniae Provinciae... — Moscoviae Maximi Amplissimique Ducatus
Rare double map of Livonia and the Grand Duchy of Moscow (Muscovy) by Gerard de Jode, published in the second edition of de Jode’s „Speculum Orbis Terrae” in 1593. The Russian part is based on Anthony Jenkinson's 1562 map, while the Livonian one on Jan Portant's 1573 cartographical work. The engravers – Jan and Lucas van Deutecum – placed the individual map fields in the same – divided – ornamental frame, but added separate cartouches to each one, and illustrated their work with galleons, native animals and scenes from the life of the local inhabitants. Latin text on the back.
Dimensions: 335 x 510 (415 x 555) mm. Fine, clear copy.
