161223589Antwerp: Juan Baptist Vrients 1612. Other. In excellent condition. 365 by 504mm 14 by 19 inches. Original antique copper engraving published 1612 in the famous Italian text edition of the" Theatrum Orbis Terrarum published by Juan Baptist Vrients in Antwerp. An early and decorative map of Burgundy in France by Abraham Ortelius which is based on the cartographical sources Ferdinand de Lannoy who made a map of Burgundy in 1563 for which he obtained a privilege but which was subsequently suppressed by the Spaniards for political reasons Broe. Ortelius was born on 14 April 1527 in the city of Antwerp which was then in the Habsburg Netherlands modern-day Belgium. 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.

16028879Amsterdam c. 1602. Copper engraving 8 x 11 cm engraved by Philip Galle black and white English text on the verso. Two English printers dipped a toe in the vernacular atlas market at approximately the same time with pocket editions of the Ortelius atlas: These two little books were the earliest world atlases to be published in England and the earliest world atlases with English text R.A. Skelton "Bibliographical Note" in Abraham Ortelius The Theatre of the Whole World. Amsterdam 1968. Both are now extremely rare and they use different series of maps: Shawe used the maps by Arsenius Norton used the older series by Philip Galle. Shawe's epitome was certainly published before the death of Elizabeth I in March 1603; Norton's is dedicated to Mr. Richard Gargrave who was knighted by King James in 1603 so his atlas was published in early 1603 or before. It is generally dated to 1602 although the date 1601 has also been suggested. They were in any case published competitively within months of each other. Shawe published no further atlases Norton published the full-size folio Ortelius Theatrum in 1606. Koeman III Ort 62. Map unknown
