Ptolemaisch General Tafel begreiffend die halbe kugel der Welt [gothic script]
Black and white woodcut of the then known world. From the same plates as Typus Orbis Aptol Descriptus (roman script) in Basle 1545 Sebastian Munster edition (copy at PBE9564). This is perhaps a later pull. Also used in Sebastian Munster's Cosmographia of 1572, with changed title.
