Tobias Lotter 630 x 440 mmD1 / M156 / I75In poor condition, though with good character and apperance. It has been cut down to the margins and all four corners have been removed. There are also a number of points of loss around the map. The map has been layed down onto board to support the areas of loss. This map is priced for its charm and original appearance. This map comes framed in an Italian walnut bure frame.

A map by Tobias Lotter, whose family produced a considerable amount of cartographic material in the 18 th century. This piece though damaged illustrates an example of one of the last decorative world maps displaying four individuals on the ornate cartouche. Each one of these individual represented a region or continent, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas .
