Engraved, hand-colored map of the world by Abraham Ortelius - a well-known geologist and cartographer. It is a true work of art with Galeon, sea monsters and Latin texts from Seneca and Cicero in beautifully engraved forms.
Ortelius's third world map, dated 1587 under the author's signature, with geographical revisions based on Drake's circumnavigation.
"The oval world map used previously has been updated in two major respects: South America now assumes the more correct shape anticipated in state 3 of Ortelius second plate and the Solomon Isles are marked for the first time"
(Shirley). Shirley 158.
