- Rare portolan-style sea chart of east coast of Chios, Greece and the coast of Turkey around Izmir by Genoan cartographer Francesco Maria Levanto. Charming oblique profile depicitions of Smirne (Izmir) and Sio (Chios, Greece). Charts of Turkey from the mid 17th century are quite scarce
- From Levanto's "La Prima Parte dello Specchio del Mare" (Sea Mirror). Probably based on earlier Dutch charts, possibly influenced by Jacobsz. Place names and notes in Dutch and Italian. With an inset coastal profile and an elaborate decorative cartouche
