The map is titled "Candia" or "Crete" was created by Pietro Boschini in 1651, during a time when Venice held control over the island of Crete (Candia) in the Mediterranean.

Pietro Boschini (c. 1613–1678) was an Italian painter, printmaker, engraver, historian, and cartographer. He is best known for his work in cartography, particularly his contribution to Venetian cartography. His most famous work is the illustrated book titled "Il Regno tutto di Candia" (The Whole Kingdom of Candia), which was published in Venice in 1651. This work includes detailed maps of the island of Crete, also known as Candia, and it features elaborate engravings and descriptive texts.
