Source of this plate is Munster’s COSMOGRAPHIA. As the date of this plate is uncertain, I am using the 1578 as this was the last printing in the old style by Henri Petri. This is clearly not the later Sebastian Pertri "in the copper-plate manner" style wood-block. Sebastian Munster (1489-1552) was one of the three cartographers who dominated the 16th century, the other two being Mercator and Ortelius. Moreland & Bannister state that COSMOGRAPHIA "undoubtedly must have been one of the most widely red books of its time." As such, Munster had a wide influence on the cartography of his time as well as that of succeeding generations.
