Typvs orbis terrarvm

Oval map within illustrated border, showing clouds. Appears in Latin edition of Ortelius's Theatrum orbis terrarum. Includes illustrations. Latin text on verso. In lower left: cum privilegio. Has a crack and re-engraved clouds in lower left corner, which, according to Shirley, dates the map to 1579 or later. Differs from LC's 1579 ? edition in having a more noticeable crack in lower left corner. Also the fish close to the east coast of South America and the sea monster in "Mar di India" are more elaborately engraved. All cities painted brown. Shirley, R.W. Mapping of the world, 122
