Original public domain art from the New York Public Library, digitally enhanced. This is a superbly coloured copy of an enlarged map from the epic work 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' by Abraham Ortelius. The entire work consists of 115 uniform maps of the world and 32 maps of the ancient world, including the most renowed cartographers from that period.

First published in Antwerp, Belgium, 1570, it is recognised as the first modern atlas. It was the most authoritative and successful of such works during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries and it made Abraham Ortelius one of the most prominent geographers of his time. The atlas is the first to contain maps printed in a uniform style and format and to display a catalogue of the authors whose source Ortelius used in the drawing of the maps. It was the atlas of the Renaissance and the late Middle Ages.

There is the charming engraved allegorical title with its five female figures representing the five continents, and what is probably the earliest allegorical representation of "America".

CLICK FOR TIPS

When buying artworks figure out what you like. If you're just buying something you love, it's not difficult to make a decision!

If you hang an artwork at home and it doesn’t feel right, move it. Try putting it in different places, and see if it strikes an interesting dialogue with other works on your wall. Smaller artworks often work well near light switches, or hung low over a small piece of furniture like a bedside table.

Grouping works together can be really effective. Test out a group of frames by arranging them on the floor or a table top. If you’re feeling pro, use masking tape to mark out your very own tightly packed grouping!
