Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) was a cartographer, cosmographer, geographer and Flemish editor, contemporary with the geographer Gerard Mercator, whom he knew, traveled with through Europe, collaborated with and borrowed the term "Atlas" from. Theatrum Orbis Terrarum was the first set of maps printed in the form of an atlas. Three Latin editions, one Dutch edition, several French and German editions of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum were published by 1572, and another 25 editions were printed before Ortelius' death in 1598, showing the enormous success of the work. The exhibit is part of an edition printed at the end of the 17th-beginning of the 18th century. Hand-colored copper engraving after printing.
