Title : [No title] Daniel's Dream Map..
Map maker : LUFT,H. after.
Date : Cologne, 1564.
Size : 4.8 x 6.2 inches. / 12.2 x 15.8 cm.
Colouring : Uncoloured.

Description :A somewhat curious map of Europe, Africa, and Asia is to be found in apocalyptic literature originally emanating from Wittenberg in 1530 or even 1529. One of the first impressions of the map was used by the printer Hans Lufft to illustrate two works: one a commentary on the prophet Daniel by Martin Luther (1530) and another linking the vision of Daniel with the assaults of the Turks on the perimeters of Christian Europe at the time.
The wood cut map is showing the four beasts of Daniel's Dream Map..This edition of the map is slightly smaller than the first edition, and was originally printed on a text sheet of Luther's Wittenberg Bible.
For this later edition, the woodblock was re-cut and surrounded in an elaborate picture-frame style border. It was published in a Wittenberg Bible with text above and below the map (page size 385x245mm.)

Shirley, World 65.
Condition : Wood block print with letter press. Paper slightly age-toned with marginal water staining. Very good condition.
