About This Item
Amsterdam: Ortelius, 1575. Very good overall. A classic map of the British Isles, published in the 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum', regarded as the first modern atlas. The map was oriented with north to the right so that the map fitted the sheet of paper, as it predates the convention of north to the top of the map.
