Map Description
Old world map / early map of Earth (Planet).

Created by Abraham Ortelius in 1579.
  • Oval map within illustrated border, showing clouds.
  • Includes illustrations.
  • Appears to be an etched, probably unauthorized copy of an edition of Ortelius's map, possibly made in Italy. This map copies the re-engraved clouds in lower left corner, which, according to Shirley, dates the map to 1579 or later. The word "occidens" on the left edge of the map reads bottom to top rather than top to bottom as in the original. On laid paper with a watermark of a bunch of grapes.
