Candia cum Insulis aliquot circa Graeciam

Mercator/Hondius
Candia cum Insulis aliquot circa Graeciam, 1628
13.5 x 19 in.
Original outline color with full color cartouches.
Very Good, with a few spots and abrasions. Some chipping of wide margins, especially lower left.
 
An attractive if rather inaccurate map of Crete, with insets of the islands of Kerkyra (Corfu), Zakynthos, Milos, Naxos, Santorini, and Karpathos. Many cities and villages are shown, and the mountainous nature of the interior is indicated, though not very accurately. Similarly, only some of the major coastal features are delineated and the southern coast is shown as completely horizontal. The Labyrinth appears in the south central part of the island, near Gortyna.
