Quite attractive and tight fifth printing of this noted 1965 analysis, a hefty study of this still-disputed 15th century world map indicating Viking discovery of North America. Interestingly, front flyleaf of this copy bears an archival decorative-edged bookplate signed boldly in black ballpoint by Kenneth Nebenzahl (1927-2020), famed Chicago map dealer and expert whose well-known "Kenneth J. Nebenzahl, Jr., Lectures in the History of Cartography" debuted in 1966 with "Vinland Map" primary author Skelton's address.
