Description
Rare map first published in Barent Langenes' "Caert-thresoor" published in Amstredam by Cornelis Claesz in 1598. Example from the later 1599 reprint with French text called "Thrésor de chartes" also published by Cornelis Claesz in 1599.
At the end of the 16th century the most famous and marketed "pocket" atlas was Abraham Ortelius' Epitome. In 1598 the publishers Barent Langenes and Cornelis Claesz brought to print a collection of superior quality. The plates are entrusted to skilled engravers such as Pieter Kaerius and Jodocus Hondius.
Copperplate engraving, a light waterstain at the lower right corner, otherwise in excellent condition.
