With title in decorative border, 3 ornamental cartouches, 2 ships, sea-monster and "Scala Leucarum". 32,5:46,5 cm (12 3/4 x 18 1/4 inch.) 2,5 x 46,5 cm Van der Krogt, Koeman's Atlantes Neerlandici, Vol. III B, 6350:31; Van den Broecke, Ortelius Atlas Maps, Nr. 24. - Stammt aus einer von fünf lateinischen Ausgaben, die in den Jahren 1595 - 1612 erschienen. Alle tragen das Datum 1584 in der großen Kartusche.A splendid sea chart of the Azores with three scrollwork cartouches; the ocean is decorated with sailing vessels. A fresh example of this scarce sea chart, based on Teixeira's single sheet map of Terceira from 1582, and a later manuscript atlas of the Azores islands. The Azores played a significant role in international sea trade as a victualling stop and shelter for ships sailing into the South Atlantic. In very good condition. The map was first issued in an edition of 100 examples in the Additamentum to the 1583 edition of Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, which is widely referred to as the first modern atlas and a landmark in the history of Western map making. Beginning in 1570, Abraham Ortelius and his successors published (and continuously added to) this monumental work for a period of over 40 years (not including the very rare edition of 1641), with text on the verso in Latin, Italian, German, Dutch, French, Spanish and English.References: Van Den Broecke 24.

[FIRST TURKISH SKIING EXPEDITIONS] [Album of photograph: One of early Turkish skiing expeditions in Uludag Mt., Bursa]. Too many skiers seen in photographs.

"In the same year in the course of Erzurum Kerim Hitli Fort set under the leadership of Albert Bilstein who came from Austria, the army engaged in skiing and the first skiers such as Arif Hikmet Koyunoglu Cemal Dursunoglu, Kemal Hasip had been brought up. A ski battalion composed of four companies was founded in Erzincan in 1917. In the same period the first ski school was set up in Susehri (Buldur Village) by Hikmet Koyunoglu. A Teacher of Galatasaray High School skiing in Uludag in 1933 boosted activity to the sport and afterwards the ski activities organised by Bursa Community Centre in Uludag in 1933-1934, Ankara Community Centre in Elmadag and Erzurum Community Centre in Palandöken had been important movements...".
