Copper engraved map 14x11cm of the outmost rarity of Eastern Macedonia and part of western Thrace, of the Strimonikos gulf wide area (then the gulf of Contessa), drawn by Buache in 1732 for an extremely rare scientific publication, the Memoirs de l’Academie. Almost no one map of this area of Greece alone exist before the early 19th century. Intact, but with visible water stain. Not in Zacharakis, extremely rare.
