A 17th century chart of the eastern Mediterranean in fine colour.

De Wit's fine sea chart of the Eastern Mediterranean, showing from the east coasts of Corsica and Sardinia to Cyprus and the Holy Land. This example was issued by the Ottens brothers' edition of Louis Renard's j 'Atlas van Zeevaart'. The superb title cartouches represent the struggle between the West and the Turks for control of the sea, and the vignette ships include a battle between a galleon and a galley. A very fine example
