Hand-colored copper engraving.

Published in ãTheatrum Orbis Terrarum" by Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598)

Verso: Text in Latin

Antwerp, 1588

Very good condition. Beautiful exemplar!

Very, very attractive map with Berlin, the German capital, directly in the center. The map is beautifully and richly adorned with a surrounding decorative bordure and a very attractive Renaissance title cartouche.

The typical 16th century hand coloring is making this map a most beautiful wall decoration.

Map reaches from Wittenberg on the Elbe downstream to near Lauenburg on the Elbe river. We find "Frisch he Haff near Stettin on this map as well as Neu Mark, Spreewald. Throughout the map we see a multitude of rivers and smaller waterways, like veins, meandering through the landscape giving this map structure. Asked for my opinion I wouldd say: This is definitely one of the most decorative prints from the first world atlas .

Sehr attraktive Landkarte der Mark Brandenburg mit der Hauptstadt Deutschlands, Berlin, direkt in der Mitte.Die umlaufende Borduere und die Renaissance-Kartusche, sowie das sehr attraktive Handkolorit im Renaissance-Stil und das Geaeder zahlreicher Fluesse geben der Karte einen hohen Dekorationswert als Wandschmuck.

"Germanicae Nationis Descriptio"

Hand-colored woodcut. Published in "Cosmographia"

By Sebastian Muenster. Basel, ca. 1550

This map is especially charming and interesting because of its south orientation. This "upside-down" look was not totally uncommon in the 16th century (we know also west- and east-oriented maps) as the north orientation of maps was discussed and became the "normal" depiction in the 17th century, at a time when more atlases, charts and maps were produced.

This map of Germany extends from Lübeck to Brixen (Bressanone) and from Antwerp to Danzig (Gdansk). With Bohemia often shown like the heart of Europe surrounded by a heart-shaped belt of forests.

A little creasing in lower left corner and for the most part in margins outside image.

Reverse side has brief description of Germany in Latin. This map is one of the earliest of Central Europe. On the right a mileage scale from 0 to 130.
