This is the only map of Luxembourg in the famous Abraham Ortelius “Theatrum Orbis Terrarum”. It first appeared in the 1579 edition and this example with Spanish text to the verso is from the 1588 edition. The map was originally drawn by Jacques Surhon for which he received 500 Livres in payment from Charles V in 1551. It was however never published. Van den Broecke, M. 60.2; Van der Vekene 102B.
