- paper
Rare German news-sheet map of the Christian armada assembled to confront the Turkish threat in the eastern Mediterranean in 1570. Despite the formidable array, the fleet failed to prevent the invasion, and subsequent fall of Cyprus to the Turks. Jenichen, who signed the map with his monogram 'BI', was the leading German publisher of news-sheet maps but, because of their ephemeral nature, all are now rare.
