English | The Iberian Peninsula showing the Kingdoms of Spain and Portugal. Title cartouche in Latin is on the bottom right hand corner with Ortelius's trade mark decoration. The scale for this map is both on the mileage scale on the bottom left and on the surrounding grid bordering the map. Imaginative sea monsters and contemporary ships fill the oceans. This map is based on the work of Carolus Clusius (1526-1609) who published a 6 sheet map of Spain in 1571. Three years after the publication of this map the Iberian peninsula would be politically unified under the Spanish Habsburgs until 1640. Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) was one of the most important figures in cartographer in this period. He is best known for his 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' generally considered the first Atlas. The scale on this map is 1:3,500,000. References Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmaker, Early World Press, 2004, p358-359 Marcel P. R. van den Broecke, Ortelius Atlas Maps, HES Publishers, p140-141 |
