Exquisite 1580 Ortelius Map of the Narbonne Coastal Region, France
About the Item
"Exquisite 1580 Ortelius Map of the Narbonne Coastal Region, France"
Description of the Map:
This map is an intricate copper etching from Abraham Ortelius's esteemed "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," produced around 1580.
It features the Mediterranean coastline of the ancient Gallia Narbonensis, extending from Marseille through Narbonne up to the French-Spanish border.
The map is designed with a westward orientation, highlighting detailed depictions of geographical and urban elements along this historical region. The artwork includes a visually appealing title cartouche, a navigational compass, and a mileage key, all set against the Mediterranean backdrop. Decorative borders enhance the map's aesthetic appeal, making it a striking piece of historical art.
Condition of the Map:
The map exhibits some age toning and light spotting along the margins, which are minor signs of its age and historical use. The right margin is described as narrow, suggesting some wear or possible trimming in past handling. Despite these signs of age, the map remains in good condition, retaining its clarity and vibrant features.
This map would be highly sought after by collectors due to its origin from Ortelius's groundbreaking atlas and its detailed representation of an important historical region of France. The decorative elements and the map's overall charm contribute to its desirability among those interested in maritime and regional cartography from the Renaissance period.
