Note:

The Atlas 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' of 1571 was the first time the elements of the modern atlas were brought to publication by Abraham Ortelius. This first edition of the Atlas or the 20th May 1570 edition is composed of 53 map sheets with descriptive text on verso. The maps were collected from renowned and up-to-date cartographers and geographers with the intention to bound as many as small maps as he could on a book to be easily handled instead the inconvenient large maps. All the maps present on the Atlas were engraved according to uniform format and specifically for it. This world map is a reproduction of the large map from Mercator from the previous year with new co-ordinates of places in America provided by himself. From Mercator's map were omitted the legends, textual panels, and decorative features and now clouds surround the map with a quotation from Cicero on a cartouche on the bottom. The original plate was signed 'Franciscus Hogenbergus sculpsit' and was used for the first 16 editions of the 'Theatrum' in different languages.
