Description:
“Typvs Orbis Terrarvm”, by Abraham Ortelius, circa 1570. Cooper engraved map published in Amsterdam. Features a huge and imaginary Southern Continent, a strange bulge in South America and wildly distorted west coast of North America. The Northwest Passage, still a hopeful theory, cuts North America in half from east to west. A prime example of the beautiful maps produced during the “Golden Age of Cartography.”
