Theatrum orbis terrarum : opus nunc denuo ab ipso auctore recognitum, multisquè locis castignatum, & quamplurimis novis tabulis atquè commentarij auctum
This is an atlas by Abraham Ortelius, printed by Plantin in 1595 at Antwerp for scholars and merchants across Europe, and this edition is a revised and enlarged Theatrum orbis terrarum. Its pages are hand-coloured copperplate maps of regions with decorative cartouches, sea monsters, ships and compass-like frames, offering a designer dense sources for antique cartographic ornament, border work and colour palettes.
