Description:
Bifolium. First page is titled "TARTARIA fiue MAGNI CHAMI IMPERIVM." and is followed by a page of text in Latin. The sheet opens to reveal a map. Note that this map is from a different edition than the others. The dimensions are different, plate marks are pronounced and image is evenly centered on paper. The hand-coloring is much more finely done with great detail.
