Description

Abraham Ortelius was born on 14 April 1527 in Antwerp, part of the Habsburgs (today in Belgium). He is a member of the influential Ortelius family at that time and travels very much in Europe. Ortelius started working as a card engraver and in 1547 he became a member of the Antwerp cartographic guild. It sets the foundations for the critical analysis of ancient geography. Ortelius examines the possibility of a continental drift that has become a geology-based theory a few centuries later.

The map was created by Abraham Ortelius in 1564 and is the first map of the world with title "Typus Orbis Terrarum", which Abraham prints. It is also featured in the first contemporary "Atlas of the World" - Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, whose trial footprint was created in 1570. Atlas contains 53 cards. And nowadays Abraham Ortelius remains a recognized creator of the first modern atlas. Unique retro gift presented in a luxurious retro frame.
