This anonymous 1590 engraving, titled "Cartouche met rolwerk en twee vogelkoppen," is a decorative title cartouche for a map of ancient Thrace. It showcases intricate scrollwork, two bird heads, and the text "Thraciae Veteris Typvs" in Latin, which translates to "Type of Ancient Thrace". This design, likely intended for a larger map, exemplifies the decorative styles prevalent in 16th-century cartography, where ornamentation added artistic appeal and emphasized the historical significance of the represented region.
