About This Item
Antwerp, 1573. Three engraved maps on one sheet, 38.5 x 50 cm, black and white, very faintly red-ruled, slight marginal soiling, Latin text on verso; old tabs on verso, where previously mounted. An early example of this particular map, which was first printed in Dutch, German and Latin editions of Ortelius Theatrum in the same year, 1573. Pomerania, running along the Baltic coast between Rostock and Gdansk, is now divided between Germany and Poland; Livonia covers much of modern Latvia and Estonia; the Duchies of Oswiecim and Zator were two of the Duchies of Silesia, in modern Poland. Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is generally considered the first modern atlas of the world, originally published in 1570. Ortelius gathered the best available cartographic knowledge and presented it in a consistent style in a single volume, with text. The Theatrum was very decorative and hugely popular amongst the wealthy and educated, running into over forty editions in Latin and the major European languages.
