Summary

Description
English: Oval map within illustrated border, showing clouds. Appears in Latin edition of Ortelius's Theatrum orbis terrarum. Includes illustrations. Latin text on verso. In lower left: cum privilegio. Has a crack and re-engraved clouds in lower left corner, which, according to Shirley, dates the map to 1579 or later. Differs from LC's 1579[?] edition in having a more noticeable crack in lower left corner. Also the fish close to the east coast of South America and the sea monster in "Mar di India" are more elaborately engraved. LC copy mounted on cloth. All cities painted brown. Shirley, R.W.
