Additional Details

Reduced version of Hartmann Schedel's world map from the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle. The miniaturized map loses little of its original detail, though the left-hand panel of odd creatures is left off. A rare incunable map which Shirley (20) notes as "less frequently found than the larger original".
