Description

Rara carta geografica per la prima volta pubblicata nel "Caert-thresoor" di Barent Langenes edito ad Amstredam da Cornelis Claesz nel 1598. Esemplare dalla successiva ristampa con testo francese del 1599, denominata "Thrésor de chartes" edita sempre da Cornelis Claesz nel 1599.

Alla fine del XVI secolo il più famoso e commercializzato atlante “tascabile” era l’Epitome di Abraham Ortelius. Nel 1598 gli editori Barent Langenes e Cornelis Claesz diedero alle stampe una raccolta di superiore qualità. Le lastre sono affidate ad abili intagliatori quali Pieter Kaerius e Jodocus Hondius.
 
Acquaforte, leggera gora d'acqua in basso a destra, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione.
