Description
It is unclear why this map was made but not included in the Theatrum. See also Meurer p. 219 and plate 55.
Only 2 other copies are known.
Denucé mentions a 1598D edition (Plantin Museum, sign. A760) which contains this map. The copy described and shown by Meurer (p. 219, Figure 55) has no text on verso, and the same applies to my copies and to Stopp's copy of this map. I noticed a 1588S edition at Reiss Auctions spring 2005 which contained a copy of this map, but with the Spanish text normally given to Ort34. Apparently, it was sold for a limited time as a separate single-sheet map. Also, a copy of the 1613 Dutch edition in the University Library of Amsterdam has the standard text usually found on Ort34.
Number of copies printed: unknown.
The estimated number of loose copies in circulation: only 2 other copies are known.
States:
35.0 a copy of this map exists without the dotted lines indicating province an country borders, most probably a proof state;
35.1 as described.
Cartographic sources:
Guillaume Postel (1510-1581) made a map of France which was printed from two wood blocks in Paris in 1570. This map was an improvement on the Jolivet source, which is the standard map through most editions of the Theatrum (plate Ort34). The present map is a reduced but true copy of Postel's map.
Provenance: This map is from the personal collection of dr. Marcel van den Broecke, author of Ortelius Atlas Maps An Illustrated Guide, and a large number of articles and books related to Abraham Ortelius and his maps.
The map has in lead pencil, by the hand of Marcel van den Broecke, the "vdB Ortnumber" and date of publication. In the top left his price and stocknumber.
