Show moreThis is Ortelius uncommon first map of the Turkish Empire only used from 1570 until 1579. This is the best known of all the sixteenth-century maps of the Middle East, extending from Greece to Arabia and covering the Cradle of Civilization region. The Red Sea (Mare de Mecca) is shown relatively accurately whereas the Persian Gulf (Mare Elcatif) is misshapen due to the exaggerated Arabian shoreline. The map includes Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Greece. Based upon Gastaldi's wall map of Asia from 1567. Large and decorative title cartouche, extracted from the 1579 Latin edition of Ortelius famous Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the world. Relief shown pictorially.

Show moreDouble-page engraved twin-hemispherical world map, elaborate strap work borders, armillary sphere, compass rose, galleon and sea monster, all hand-colored by a contemporary hand, French text on verso, Rumold Mercator's world map condensed his father's great world map of 1569 into double hemispherical form. It first appeared in Isaac Casaubon's edition of Strabo's Geographia (Geneva, 1587), and was then incorporated into editions of Mercator's atlas from 1595 to 1630 with the plate unchanged, also this Map engraving is a model of clarity and neatness, with typical cursive flourishes to the lettering of the sea names' (Shirley). The North Pole is illustrated as a landmass surrounding a sea from which four rivers radiate, and there is a well depicted North West passage. A huge southern continent and the bulge in the south west coast of South America indicate the influence of Gerard Mercator. Relief shown pictorially. "Duysburghi Clivorum typis aeneis." Plate was engraved in 1587, this impression likely 1619 (note cracks at top edge and French text on verso, see R. Shirley, The mapping of the world, p. 179 #157) Decorative border. Hand colored.
