A fine and original hand-colored example of Ortelius's celebrated cartographic work documenting this region of Germany with the precision and decorative artistry characteristic of the 16000s. Abraham Ortelius 1527-1598 was a Flemish cartographer and geographer from Antwerp widely regarded as the creator of the first modern atlas. His landmark publication Theatrum Orbis Terrarum 1570 set the standard for atlas-making for the next century presenting uniform copper-engraved maps with scholarly commentary. By Ortelius's death the Theatrum had appeared in 25 editions in seven languages. In 1575 King Philip II of Spain appointed him Royal Geographer. His maps engraved with extraordinary precision are among the most sought-after in antique cartography held in collections including the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp the Library of Congress and the British Library.This original copperplate engraving with original hand coloring depicts the region of Thüringen published in Antwerpen 1603. The map features a decorative Baroque cartouche containing the title inscription. A distance scale is incorporated within the cartouche or alongside it. The map records the political and geographic boundaries of the region as understood in 1603 offering a fascinating window into the history of German territorial organization. Sheet measures 295 by 210mm 11 by 8 inches. In good condition overall with minor signs of age appropriate for a 17th-century engraving. Ready to frame. Koeman Ort. 30; Broe. 96. unknown

Villages and towns are shown as miniature views. 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.
