EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving from 1573 offers a detailed and comprehensive view of the kingdom of Spain, based on all available publications at the time. Created by Abraham Ortelius, a renowned cartographer of the 16th century, this print is a true masterpiece of mapmaking.
Measuring 42x53 cm, this atlas sheet is part of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum and features Latin text alongside intricate hand-colored details. The scale of approximately 1:350,000 allows for precise navigation through the Spanish landscape, with borders graduated for latitude and longitude.
The title is elegantly displayed in a strapwork cartouche, while the sea area is adorned with ships and sea creatures that add a touch of whimsy to this otherwise scholarly piece. The level of detail in this engraving showcases Ortelius' skill as an engraver and his dedication to accurately representing the geography of Spain.
As you study this print closely, you can almost imagine yourself traveling through the cities and countryside depicted within its borders. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art, offering viewers a glimpse into the past while also showcasing Ortelius' talent for combining beauty with precision in his cartographic creations.
