330 x 490 mm., with recent wash colour, in good condition.

One half of this map depicts the region of Siena in Italy. The other half is split between a map of Corsica and one of Ancona. This map was first published in the Latin edition of Abraham Ortelius' 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' in 1573, the first modern atlas of the world. That of Siena is derived from the map of Cesare Orlandi in 1573, which in itself if probably drawn from Claudio Duchetti's undated earlier map. This example bears Spanish text to the verso and appeared in the 1602 edition. Van den Broecke, M. 137; Meurer pp. 210-11.
