![europe as queen]()
Out of stockAn uncommon map of Europe in the shape of a Queen after the same image published by Munster in 1588. Europa as Queen is the map-like depiction of the European continent as a Queen. Made popular in the 1500s, the map shows Europe standing upright, with the Iberian Peninsula forming her crowned head, and Bohemia her heart. During the late 16th Century, a few map makers created these really interesting map images, wherein countries and continents were given human or animal forms. This example was published in Cosmorama Pittorico, Milan 1850. The description on verso explain, curiously, that the Singolar Carta d’Europa (strange map of Europe) shows surely King Charles V.
