Munster, Sebastian
[Basel : Heinrich Petri,
1630]
Relief shown pictorially.
Originally issued in a German language edition of Sebastian Munster 'Cosmographia'; the woodcut was produced in 1578, but this is from a later issue, with German text on verso 'Das Ander Buch von Gross Britannien ...' with a portrait of James I & VI.
