(Europe) An Early 1600s Map of Ancient Roman Germany, France & Netherlands. "Germaniae Cisrhenanae ut circa Julii Caesaris fuit aeta tem descriptio Auctore Phil. Cluverio." 10 1/2" high x 13 1/2" wide. A lovely ca. 1620 map in full color of northwestern Europe, from roughly east of the English Channel, in the Ancient Roman period of Julius Caesar, by Philip Cluver (aka Philippe Cluverio) of Leyden. The charming cartouche features a fierce winged and feathered creature. Slight chipping of the right and left edges and a light horizontal fold, otherwise very good condition with the old color still bright and attractive. Scarce and interesting.
