Gerard (1652-1726) and Leonard Valk (1675-1746).  "Graecia et Archipelago, divisus in singulares Regiones Macedoniae, Albaniae, Epiri, Thessaliae, Achaiae et Morea…” From Atlantis Sylloge Compendiosa. 

Amsterdam: Gerard and Leonard Valk, ca 1700.  23 ½ x 19 ½ (neat lines).  Engraving on laid paper.  Original hand color.   Slight wave in paper.  Good condition. 

A very detailed map of Greece and the Archipelago by Gerard and Leonard Valk, a father and son cartographic publishing firm from Amsterdam.  This map shows an amazing amount of topographical data all indicated quite clearly by means of the precise engraving and strong impression.  It provides an excellent record of this area at the end of the seventeenth century.  With its original color this map is also very attractive.
