A copper engraved map of the regions of Le Mans and Brittany in France published by Abraham Ortelius in his ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’, the first uniform world atlas to be published. This map first appeared in the edition of 1595, this example with Spanish text to the verso appeared in the 1602 edition. The cartography of the map of Le Mans is derived from the relatively unknown map by Mace Olgier and Mattheus Ogerius in 1539. The most influential map on that of Brittany was Gerard Mercator’s published in 1585. This is an example of the first state. Van der Broecke 37.
