The Terrarum Orbis is considered to be the first true modern atlas. Written by Abraham Ortelius and strongly encouraged by Gillis Hooftman, it was originally printed on 20 May 1570 in Antwerp. It consisted of a collection of uniform map sheets and supporting text bound to form a book for which copper printing plates were specifically engraved. The Ortelius atlas is sometimes referred to as the summary of sixteenth-century cartography. The publication of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (1570) is often considered as the official beginning of the Golden Age of Netherlandish cartography (approximately 1570s–1670s).   

Available as a 42"h x 55"w wall hanging woven in Italy.
