JOLLAIN, G. - Romani Imperii Imago.

Copied after a map by Ortelius, but much rarer. The medallion portraits are of Romulus and Remus - the genealogical 'tree' describes the lineage of the Roman emperors, while the strapwork bordered panels explain the history of the Empire.
The coasts of North Africa, England, and Ireland are outlined in orange.

Appears to be a proof state or earlier edition, as the name of "Jollain", which normally occurs in his map, is not present. A very dark, so early impression of this rare map.
