(WORLD.) Heinrich Bunting. [Clover Leaf World Map]. Tabule Wsseho Okrsslku Zemskeho W Spusobu Listu Deteloweho. Hand-colored double-page woodblock map of the world distinctively represented as a trefoil of continents - Jerusalem is at the center, America is off to the lower left, and the sea is pleasantly decorative. 11¼x15 inches sheet size, ample margins; archivally lined with thin tissue, otherwise an attractive example with no major flaws. From the Czech-language edition of Bunting's Itinerarium Sacrae Scriptura with stylistic variations to the original 1581 woodblock. Shirley 142. Prague, 1592
