A very attractive early map of the British Isles projected in a trapezoidal style with rivers and towns noted, with Latin text on the verso. The author of the map is Laurent Fries a physician and geographer from Alsace. It is derived from that of Martin Waldseemuller published in Strasbourg in 1513. First published in 1522, by now Lorenz Fries had died. The blocks found their way into the possession of Melchoir and Gaspar Treschel. This edition was published in Lyon but printed in Vienne.
