Description:
The European map was once depicted as a Queen | Europa Regina | Thrilling Point<br/>Putsch’s original map, a somewhat crude woodcut, became known by a variety of titles, including “Europa Regina” (“Queen Europe”). The progression from the queen’s head to foot moves from west to east, Putsch labeling each region with a Latin name: Hispania, the Iberian Peninsula in the west, is the figure’s head, and eastern regions of Bulgaria and Muscovia form her feet. The arm on the left is Italy and Sicily is represented by an orb in its hand. The arm on the right is Denmark.
