La Grece et L'Ione

(Greece / Illyrium / Turkey / Balkans / Ionian islands / Crete / Macedonia / Balkans / etc.)

Issued Paris, 1739 by Pierre Bourgoin.

Engraved by Bourgoin.

Charming and very scarce little early 18th century antique miniature map. Engraved with pleasing full hand color.

Tiny view above the map depicts a man sitting on rocks next to a river and contemplating what appears to be a looming eclipse (!)

In near VG or better condition, minor light surface age wear and toning as typical, but overall a superior visual example.

Sheet measures c. 3 3/4" x 6 1/4"

Engraved area measures c. 2 3/4" x 5 1/2"
