Europe

A hand-colored engraved map of Europe from a 16th or 17th-century atlas. The map shows the European continent, North Africa, and parts of Western Asia. In the upper left, a decorative cartouche titled "EVROPAE" features a mythological illustration of Europa being carried away by Zeus in the form of a white bull. In the Atlantic Ocean to the west, a single sailing ship is depicted. In the upper right corner, a colorful 16-point compass rose is shown. In the bottom center-left, there is a linear scale bar. The map is detailed with topographical features such as mountains, forests, and numerous cities and regional labels. The seas are labeled in Latin, and different regions are shaded in various colors (yellow, green, pink, and orange). A vertical crease runs through the center of the page where the map was folded into a book.
