AF-MD-5053.T.jpg

Hand-colored map of Syria with two decorated cartouches. The distance scales are given in milliaria Germanica communia and milliaria Gallica communia. Relief is shown pictorially.

This map was republished by Gerard Valck and Pieter Schenk in collaboration with Leonard Valck from Jan Jansson. They provided stiff competition for Willem Bleau. Valck and Schenk bought acquired plates from Bleau, N. Visscher, N. Sanson, and others to compile their atlases.
