America Map Ortelius Theatrum 1570 Poster

America Map Ortelius Theatrum 1570 Poster

Set of 5 - 1/5 Americae sive Novi Orbis, Nova Descriptio Ortelius' Theatrum was perhaps the single most influential set of maps published in the 16th Century. First issued in 1570 and expanded over the next forty-two years to this final Vrients edition of Ortelius' masterwork, the Theatrum revolutionised the presentation of maps to an increasingly educated class of Renaissance Europe and became the standard from which most cartographic works of the period were copied. Abraham Ortelius is perhaps the best known and most frequently collected of all sixteenth-century mapmakers. Ortelius started his career as a map engraver. In 1547 he entered the Antwerp guild of St Luke as "afsetter van Karten". His early career was as a businessman, and most of his journeys before 1560 were for commercial purposes. In 1560, while travelling with Gerard Mercator to Trier, Lorraine, and Poitiers, he seems to have been attracted, largely by Mercator’s influence, towards a career as a scientific geographer. From that point forward, he devoted himself to the compilation of his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of the World), which would become the first modern atlas.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it. I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
