ANGLIAE, SCOTIAE, ET HIBERNIAE, SIVE BRITANNICAR INSULARVM DESCRIPTIO

A beautiful map of the British Isles. North is to the right. Title in strapwork cartouche at top right, text in Latin, in its own cartouche at lower left, scale and royal arms. Ships at sea. It is difficult to put an exact date on the map, because of the complex publishing history of Ortelius’ atlas. However, according to Moreland and Bannister p200-203), this is the first state, used in pre1583 editions. Ref: Van den Broecke 16, Moreland & Bannister, p200-203

Fine condition, good margins.
