Article description
Original copper engraving, published 1603-12 in the famous historical Atlas "Parergon" (Latin text-edition) by Abraham Ortelius. Finely later hand-colored in wash and outline. A fine and decorative historical map of the British Isles. This map by Abraham Ortelius is based on the modern information of Mercator's 1564 map of the British Isles, as well improved by a new outline from Saxton's 1579 map and ancient knowledge from Diodorus Siculus, Plinius, Appianius, Tacitus, Caesar and Strabo. The map was engraved by Jan Wierix.
