The 1587 Orbis Terrae is the map that primarily responsible for spreading knowledge of the still widely used Mercator's Projection. This fine and beautiful engraving shows the profoundly re-imagined world in a double hemisphere format that includes elaborate renderings of an armillary sphere and a compass rose.

This is a handsome and endlessly fascinating work of art to live with.
