North Atlantic Region
[Abraham Ortelius]. Map: "SEPTENTRIONALIUM REGIONUM DESCRIP."
(Northern Region Described). [Antwerp, circa 1570-1587].
Originally published as part of Abraham Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis
Terrarum. Several states of this map are known. 19 x 14 inches.
Framed and matted under glass to an overall size of 26 x 21.5
inches. Hand-colored and featuring sea monster and sailing ship
vignettes. Very good condition. Important early map of the North
Atlantic, extending from Scandinavia and the Polar regions in the
East, to the North Atlantic, Greenland, Iceland and North America.
Originally engraved by Frans Hogenberg, Ortelius' map of the North
Atlantic is one of the most interesting maps to appear in atlas.
The map was influential in its treatment of the Arctic regions. The
mainland of America is depicted in the north-west with the place

including Frisland, Drogeo and Icaria. Van Den Broecke 160.
