This print originates from 'Philippi Cluveri Introductionis in universam geographiam, tam veterem quam novam, libri VI' by Philipp Clüver, Johannes Buno, Johann Friedrich Heckel, Antoine Augustin Bruzen de La Martinière, Johannes Reiske. Published 1729.
Philipp Clüver (also Klüwer, Cluwer, or Cluvier, Latinized as Philippus Cluverius and Philippi Cluverii) (1580 – 31 December 1622) was an Early Modern German geographer and historian.
