The Netherlands ‘Egg’ Map by Ortelius
£850
In stock
A 16th century map of the Netherlands known as the 'Egg' map because of its oval strapwork borders. This example has the text layout of either the 1574 or 1575 edition of the Theatrum, with the number erased and the number of the 1579 edition added in old ink mss: the publishers were obviously using up the remainder of an old edition. The ink mss. Has burned through the paper, necessitating the small repair.
