This refined antique map of Sicily and Sardinia, made by Lorenz Fries in 1525, is a precious example of Renaissance cartography. Printed on paper by woodcut and enhanced with delicate period colouring, the work stands out for the elegance of its composition and the care taken over geographical detail, offering a vivid depiction of the two largest islands of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Italian coasts. The title "Tabula Moderna Italie" and the Latin text on the verso, enclosed in elaborate Renaissance-style borders, lend further charm and historical value to this example
