This is Abraham Ortelius’ fine map of the region of Cremona from the ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’. It was first published in 1579, this example with German text to the verso is from an edition issued the following year. Cartographically it is derived from a manuscript map of the area by Antonio Campi which was not finally published until 1583. The map extends from Mantua in the east to Cremona, Piacenza and Crema in the west. The inset map of Crema is after a printed map by Paolo Forlani issued in 1570. Van den Broecke no. 127.
