Title/Content of Map: 1592 Ortelius Map of Britain and Ireland -- Angliae, Scotiae, et Hiberniae, sive Britannicar Insularum Descriptio Date: 1592 c., Antwerp Cartographer: A Ortelius Size: 13.5 x 19.6 in.
This is a large, highly attractive and very interesting map, orienting the British Islands East to West ('sideways' vs. today's conventions) and is Ortelius' earliest map of this region. Great deal of detail as to towns and topography is offered. Some of the place names appear to have Flemish/German influence, e.g. Ormyskyrk for Ormskirk, Dantre for Daventry. Outstanding engraving and the two ornate strapwork cartouches, a royal coat of arms, a compass and scale and five sailing ships, make this a rather unique map.
Please note that this lot has a confidential reserve. When you leave a bid in advance of the auction, submit your maximum. The bidder who has submitted the highest bid wins the lot, provided the bid exceeds the reserve price.
Shipping: Domestic: Flat-rate of $12.00 to anywhere within the contiguous U.S. International: Foreign shipping rates are determined by destination. Combined shipping: Please ask about combined shipping for multiple lots before bidding. Location: This item ships from Ohio
