Description

This early engraved map of the Greek island Milos, with attractive old colour, was issued in the series of maps of islands by a Venice map maker  Giovanni Francesco Camocio, who started this large pioneering opus circa 1558.

Maps were first published separately and later in Isole famose porti, fortezze, e terre maritime,…, with various variations of maps.

More common versions from this series, with a number in the lower right corner, were printed after 1575, when Camocio’s plates were acquired by Donato Bertelli.
