ORTELIUS, Abraham : L'Isle de France, Parisiensis Agri Descrip

340 x 460 mm., in recent wash colour, small old repaired lower centrefold split well within the margin, small brown mark on extreme left margin, otherwise in good condition.

A nice example of Ortelius' map of the region around Paris in the first state before the removal of the date lower left. This map is a late addition to the Ortelius atlas being first introduced in 1598. According to Van den Broecke in 1595 'Adam la Planche wrote Ortelius (Hessels letter 279) that he had obtained from Pierre Pithou a manuscript map of Ile de France, attributed to Francois de la Guillotiere'. Meurer p. 161; Van den Broecke, M. 41.
