Description
Carta geografica tratta dal "Epitome theatri Orteliani" di Abraham Ortelius.
Sei anni dopo la sua prima versione di mappe per l'edizione tascabile dell'Epitome di Ortelius (1577), Philip Galle realizza una seconda serie di tavole che pubblica per la prima volta nel 1583.
Tra il 1583 ed il 1593 l'Epitome di Galle fu stampata in più lingue, con titoli diversi.
Queste lastre furono poi acquisite da Jan Baptiste Vrients, tra il 1598 e il 1601, il quale corregge le lastre, modificandole o reincidendole, apportando diversi cambiamenti alle mappe e rendendole perciò simili ma differenti a quelle pubblicate nelle precedenti edizioni dell'atlante tascabile.
Incisione in rame, finemente colorata a mano, in buono stato di conservazione.

Abraham ORTELIUS - Philip GALLE (Haarlem, 1537 - Anversa, 1612)
|
Draughtsman, engraver, publisher, print dealer, writer and historian. It is possible that he was a pupil in Haarlem of Dirk Volkertsz. Coornhert, but more than likely he was trained in the Antwerp workshop of Hieronymous Cock, who published Galle’s first prints in 1557 and for whom he worked for many years. Shortly after 1557 Philip Galle started his own publishing and print business, for which he travelled extensively: in 1560–61 he visited the southern Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy. After 1564 he settled in Antwerp, where he acquired citizenship in 1571, the same year in which he became a master in the city’s Guild of St Luke. He served as dean of the guild from 1585 to 1587. His documented pupils were H. van Doort in 1580, Karel van Mallery (1571–1635) in 1586, Jean-Baptiste Barbé (1578–1649) in 1594 and Peter Backereel (d 1637) in 1605. Others working at the workshop and publishing house included Philip’s sons Theodor and Cornelis, his son-in-law Adriaen Collaert, pupils van Mallery and Barbé, the Wierix brothers, Hendrick Goltzius, Crispijn de Passe I and other members of the Collaert family.
