Venice, 21 x 30.5 inches (if joined to the top half). First edition of Gastaldi’s 2-sheet map of the Kingdom of Poland, the earliest map to focus on Poland. Derived from Mercator’s 1554 map of Europe, and influenced by the maps of Wapowski (1526) and Grodeckis (1548), now lost, but copied by Ortelius in 1570.
