First issue of this 16th century Dutch map of Hainaut

ORTELIUS, Abraham.

Nobilis Hannoniae Comitatus Descrip. Auctore Jacobo Surhonio Montano.
Antwerp: Christoph Plantin, 1579, Latin edition. Coloured, with gold highlights. 380 x 485mm.

An early map of Hainaut after Jacques Surhon. This map first appeared in the Additamentum of 1579; the text of this example matches that edition, but the original pagination '20b' has been erased and the pagination of the full Theatrum of that year, '30', written over the erasure in ink. The publishers were obviously using up the remaining sheets printed for the Additamentum.
