Fine engraved map of La Huasteca with original hand color in full surrounded by a border of yellow wash the title within a circular cartouche decorated with a bull's head some oxidation as expected the margins a bit browned and spotted. First Spanish edition. A BEAUTIFULLY HAND-COLORED engraved map of the Huasteca region of Mexico from the 1588 Spanish edition of Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum with Spanish text on the verso. La Huasteca is the Mexican region located along the Gulf of Mexico including parts of the states of Tamaulipas Veracruz Puebla Hidalgo San Luis Potos� Quer�taro and Guanajuato. "The map of the Guasteca bears neither date nor author. Because its reckoning of longitude paralleled that of the Culiacan depiction using Toledo as a base point Brandmair conjectured that perhaps the two were by the same hand. Even so it is still unknown and anonymous. "The area is treated in relatively fine detail from about Tuxpan northward to an exaggerated version of the Rio de las Palmas close to the Tropic of Cancer. Little attempt seems to have been made to Latinize the native place-names. Again the text is brief: 'This also is a region of North America and part of New Spain. Along its seacoasts and on its river banks they live on an abundance of fish but inland on a grain they call maize. As a people they are civilized enough in other ways. The Spaniards have established two settlements the one called Panuco named for its river and the other Santiago of the Valleys. Near a town called Tamatao not far from Panuco stands a hill on which are two fountains the one discharging black pitch the other red scalding hot'" H. F.

Our example was published by Balthasar Moretus at the Plantin Press in the final edition of the Parergon. Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is generally considered the first modern atlas of the world originally published in 1570. Ortelius gathered and selected the best available cartographic knowledge and presented it in a single volume duly credited and finely engraved in a consistent style with explanatory text. The Theatrum was very decorative and hugely popular amongst the wealthy and educated running into over forty editions in Latin and the major European languages. For Ortelius himself however his accompanying atlas of ancient geography the Parergon was a "personal work" Koeman. He seems to have regarded himself first and foremost as an antiquary and rather than copying other people's maps he drew the originals himself; they were subsequently engraved for him by the master engraver Jan Wierix. The results �have to be evaluated as the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century� Koeman.

‎Indiae Orientalis Isularumque Adiacientium Typus.‎

‎Antwerp: Ortelius c 1612. Single sheet matted 13 5/8 x 19 4/8 inches to the neat line full margins showing the platemark. A striking and fine engraved map of the Indian Ocean Southeast Asia Japan and the Philippines; with a small section of the western coast of California. Featured are also the Islands of the Indian Ocean including the Northern coastline of New Guinea described as being part of the southern continent also showing Beach and other information drawn from Marco Polo. The map is decorated extensively beginning with the title in a fine strapwork cartouche lower left and armorial device upper left decorated with fine mermaids sea monsters and ships with "cum Privilegio" lower right all surrounded by a broad decorative border. From an edition of Abraham Ortelius's celebrated "Theatrum orbis terrarium." which he compiled using his many contacts in the growing network of European cartographers to secure the best existing maps. "Indiae Orientalis." is based upon Mercator's world map of 1569 which he then had re-engraved by the talented Flemish artist Frans Hogenberg 1535-90 so that it conformed to a standard format and graphic style. Abraham Ortelius first published his atlas "Theatrum orbis terrarium" in 1570 and as Rodney Shirley noted in his study of world maps ushered in an era when "pre-eminence in map publishing was transferred from Italy to the Netherlands leading to over a hundred years of Dutch supremacy in all facets of cartographical production." Ortelius was a true pioneer in map publishing and his innovations brought momentous changes to the world views of contemporary Europeans. Little is known about his training and early career but his true accomplishment was the publication of the "Theatrum". The result was an atlas that was truly without precedent. Previously collections of maps had been assembled into book form but none conformed to the modern definition of the geographical world atlas.

‎Maris Pacifici quod vulgo Mar del Zur cum regionaribus circumiacentibus insulisque in eodem passim sparsis novissima descripto.‎

‎Antwerp: Jan Baptist Vrients 1603. Single sheet 17 � x 23 � inches. EXCEPTIONALLY FINE engraved map of the Pacific Ocean the title in an elaborate mannerist strapwork and allegorical cartouche upper right and the imprint in the lower left the ocean decorated with ships all with hand-color in full evenly browned two older tape repairs to verso one or two pale stains. THE FIRST PRINTED MAP TO BE DEVOTED TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND TO SHOW AN EARLY DEPICTION OF THE WEST COAST OF AMERICA. 1603 Latin edition first published in 1570. Van den Broecke estimates this edition to have been printed in a run of 300 copies only. This map from the 1603 Antwerp edition with text in Latin on the verso was one of the most important that appeared in Abraham Ortelius's "Theatrum orbis terrarium." Entitled "Maris Pacifici" - "Ocean of Tranquility" - it was the first printed map to be devoted to the Pacific Ocean and also includes an early depiction of the west coast of North America Japan and New Guinea. Nova Hispania Mexico and the California peninsula are shown quite accurately for the time. Primarily however the map celebrates the achievements of Magellan the first to traverse the Pacific Ocean and to discover the strait at the southern tip of South America that would come to be named in his honor. Magellan's ship "Victoria" is depicted in the Pacific along with a celebratory Latin inscription. The map is unusually centered on the Pacific itself rather than on any landmass thus showing the ocean in its entirety as it stretches from Asia to America. This deceptively simple compositional strategy emphasizes the vastness of the Pacific while stressing the magnitude of Magellan's achievement as the first to circumnavigate the globe. Ortelius derived much of the Pacific cartography from the map published in 1589 by his associate the map engraver Frans Hogenberg though Ortelius introduced a considerably narrower and more correct North America at the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer than Hogenberg. Although the plate bears the date of 1589 "Maris Pacifici" was first published in Ortelius's 1590 "Additamentum" an appendix to his atlas and was then included in future editions of the "Theatrum." Ortelius "was very bold to attempt to map what was perhaps the least-known part of the world. He must have realized however that the Pacific was increasing in stature as a commercial route to Asia. The long-hoped-for northwest passage had not been found and mariners avoided the Portuguese-controlled South African voyage to Asia. The ocean became the focus of much sixteenth century exploration. "The symbol of that exploration was Ferdinand Magellan's ship Victoria; on the map it is at sea having just passed through the strait that bears his name. Magellan became the first European mariner to sail from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific and his voyage revealed much about the Pacific Ocean�more was known about the west coast of America and the Pacific after Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation 1577-1580 when he explored America's west coast and named it New Albion. Ortelius followed Drake's voyage with keen interest corresponded with Gerard Mercator about it and incorporated as much as he could from Drake's discoveries onto 'Maris Pacifici' - the Gulf of California takes on an entirely new shape and the Rio Grande is introduced for the first time on a printed map� "Along the lower part of the map is 'Terra Australia' not an early form of Australia but a large phantom continent that the early mapmakers believed balanced the weight of Europe and Asia. When Magellan sailed around South America he believed he was following the coastline of the northern tip of Terra Australis. Like other sixteenth-century map-makers Ortelius incorporated this enormous continent into his map of the Pacific Ocean" Cohen. Van den Broecke Ort12. Antwerp: Jan Baptist Vrients, 1603. unknown‎
