Brabantia V Rheni et X nova tabula.

Woodcut, 25,7 x 33,7 cm, hand-coloured.

Hinged at upper edge. Under passe-partout.

Scarce early map of the Low Countries, very probably after Van Deventer as the hydography is virtually identical. Münster showed the course of the Rhine in 5 maps, this one being the last, covering the lower course; showing o.a. the cities Antwerp, Brussels, Roermond, Cologne, Bonn, etc. After 1542, Münster reworked the 5 Rhine-maps to just 3 (see lot 461), thus this map only appeared in 2 editions. Extracted from Münster's 1540 ed. of "Geographia universalis [...]". Latin text on verso (numb. 38).
