German woodcut engraving of Manilla galleons entitled "Schlacht fur Manille" (early 1600s), copied from Theodor de Bry (1528-1598). 13" x 7" (image size 7-1/4" x 5-1/2"). A highly detailed scene of two galleons at battle with other ships (and even a Chinese junk) in the background, also curiously with a giant squid at bottom left, the rest of the document (including the back) with Old German printed text, the paper rather light and lightly foxed but without folds or tears.

Estimate: $60 - 90
