This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of the Iberian Peninsula, meticulously crafted by Abraham Ortelius in 1570. A true masterpiece from his renowned work, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, this map offers a glimpse into the intricate art and science of 16th-century cartography. Ortelius, an esteemed Flemish geographer and mapmaker, dedicated years to perfecting this representation of the Iberian Peninsula. With Antwerp as his backdrop, he skillfully captured every detail of Spain and Portugal's physical geography on this horizontal manuscript. The beauty lies not only in its accuracy but also in its artistic presentation. This illustration is a testament to Ortelius' talent as it seamlessly blends scientific precision with aesthetic appeal. Latin script gracefully adorns the map, adding an air of sophistication to its composition.
