Description

Reproduction of an old map of Cyprus, with the island drawn across the lower half and its coastline marked with many small towns and hills. Sailing ships, smaller boats and a large ship with billowing sails fill the surrounding sea. A compass rose and a framed cartouche with text sit in the upper right of the sea area, and a narrow white margin with a printed title runs down the right edge.
