Illus: Simple title cartouche surrounded by real and imagined animal life.
This map, which shows the countries bordering the North Atlantic, is from Abraham Ortelius' monumental work: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. As the outer page bears a geographical description of the northern regions and is numbered 97, the map is probably from the 1591 or 1592 edition of this atlas. The only noticeable difference between the 1570 and 1591 states of the map is that the latter has place names given in the eastern polar area. The map is of Canadian interest in its protrayal of the western lands of Estotiland and Drageo. Other interesting design features are the ships and imaginary sea life. The NMC holds three copies of this map: one, the coloured loose sheet copy described above; another copy appears as plate 90 in the 1584 edition of: Theatrum Orbus Terrarum of the Atlas Collection; the third copy appears as plate 45 in the 1964 facsimile of the 1570: Theatrum also in the Atlas Collection. From the Coverdale (Manior Richelieu) Collection No. 1560 C.42184.
