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".
