About the Item
Antique print, titled: 'Frisia Orientalis.' Map of East Frisia originating from 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum'. It is based on the manuscript map by Jon Bloemmaerts or Johannes Florianus and depicts the important shipping center of Emden and the Watten Islands. An inset shows the region inundated by the great flood on Christmas Day, 1277, surrounded by an elaborate strapwork cartouche. The map is finely engraved with a stippled sea and a distance scale surmounted by male and female figures displaying the costumes of the region. Latin text on verso.
Artists and Engravers: Abraham Ortelius was born 1528 in Antwerp. He studied mathematics, Greek and Latin and travelled a lot across Europe. He established a business in dealing with books and drawing maps. His first remarkable map was a 8 sheet world map in the year 1564, but only three copies have survived. In 1570 he issued the ""Theatrum Orbis Terrarum"", the first modern ""Atlas"" with uniformly sized maps in a systematic collection. The term ""Atlas"" was not used until Mercator introduced it 20 years later. Most of the maps in Theatrum have been engraved by Frans Hogenberg. At the time of publication, the atlas was the most expensive book ever printed. Nevertheless it was a big success and around 7000 copies have been printed until 1612 in many editions and six different languages. Beside the Theatrum, Ortelius compiled a series of historical maps and published it in the ""Parergon Theatri"" which was bound with the Theatrum from 1579 onwards or published separately.
Condition: Good. Age-related toning. Please study image carefully.
