Sebastian Munster Map Woodblock 16th Century

An original leaf from a German edition of Sebastian Munster's Cosmographia Universalis, mid to late 16th century. There is a woodblock print on each side, one with original colouring.

Munster, a highly educated mathematician, geographer and linguist, was one of the most influential mapmakers of the 16th century.
