15703370BNetherlands: Publisher Not Known 1570. a very good map 6 x 7"; Abraham Ortelius 1527-98. One of the first and greatest of the Dutch map makers. His "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" of 1570 is generally considered the first modern Atlas. For this work large copper plates were engraved and from time to time alterations were made in these plates as various editions were issued even as late as 1693-- long after Ortelius' death. These Maps are much favoured by collectors because of a quaint rather archaic quality of drawing. They are exceedingly decorative and careful examination of any one of them will disclose curious little fugures scenes or other decorations. This map is one of these original engravings with nice old colouring. This map will make a nice gift and is quite scarce. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good/No Dustjacket. 6 x 7".

He was a notable figure of this school in its golden age approximately 1570s–1670s and an important geographer of Spain during the age of discovery. The publication of his atlas in 1570 is often considered as the official beginning of the Golden Age of Netherlandish cartography.

The Orthellius family were originally from Augsburg a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1535 the family had fallen under suspicion of Protestantism. Following the death of Ortelius's father his uncle Jacobus van Meteren returned from religious exile in England to take care of Ortelius. Abraham remained close to his cousin Emanuel van Meteren who would later moved to London. In 1575 he was appointed geographer to the king of Spain Philip II on the recommendation of Arias Montanus who vouched for his orthodoxy. He travelled extensively in Europe and is specifically known to have traveled throughout the Seventeen Provinces; in southern western northern and eastern Germany e.g. 1560 15751576; France 15591560; England and Ireland 1576; and Italy 1578 and perhaps twice or thrice between 1550 and 1558. Beginning as a map-engraver in 1547 he entered the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps. He supplemented his income trading in books prints and maps and his journeys included yearly visits to the Frankfurt book and print fair where he met Gerardus Mercator in 1554. In 1560 however when travelling with Mercator to Trier Lorraine and Poitiers he seems to have been attracted largely by Mercator's influence towards the career of a scientific geographer.

159511327Antwerp 1595. No binding. Very Good. 375 x 505 mm. in very good condition. Abraham Ortelius' map of two French regions. That on the left is the region of Le Mans with the city at the centre. On the right is Brittany and Normandy. The map was first published in the 'Additamentum' to Ortelius' 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' of 1595. This example with Spanish text on the verso is from the 1602 edition of the 'Theatrum'. The Le Mans is derived from a map by Matthaeus Ogerius in 1539. That of Brittany and Normandy from various sources but primarily Gerard Mercator's map of 1585. Van der Broecke cites also Bertrand d'Argentre's 1519-90 map of Brittany from 1588 and Lezin Guyet. This is an example of the first state. Abraham Ortelius 1527-98 developed an interest in cartography geography and history at an early age. He began as a 'kaarten afzetter' or illuminator of maps and would purchase single maps from booksellers and colour them for re-sale mounted on linen suitable for wall-hanging. At twenty he was entered in the Guild of St Luke at Antwerp. Ortelius travelled extensively in Europe and maintained regular correspondence with mapmakers historians and scientists acquiring information which was to form his greatest opus the 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum'. What made the atlas stand out as the first modern atlas was its uniformity. They were produced in a similar style and none of the ancient Ptolemaic maps were included. The atlas was accompanied a catalogue of the authors whose source Ortelius had drawn upon in compiling the work. Without this list many cartographers of the day would remain unknown to us today. From its first appearance in 1570 the 'Theatrum' was far more comprehensive in scope than any contemporary work. In all over forty different editions were published with text in Latin Dutch German French Spanish English or Italian with the maps being frequently revised or replaced. By 1612 when the final edition was published the atlas contained no less than 128 maps. Provenance: private Jersey collection.
