Frisiae Orientalis Descriptio

Very nice old coloured antique map of East Frisia by Abraham Ortelius. From the first modern atlas, the famous Theatrum Orbis Terrarum by Ortelius, first published in 1570. Embellished with elaborate details and decorative elements.

This is the early state with the longer title and still without the inset map. Shows the North Sea coast of East Frisia (Ostfriesland) from Emden to the Oldenburger Land and the East Frisian Islands Borkum, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog and Wangerooge. With Aurich, Norden, Esens, Wittmund, Jever and Leer. Above the title, bottom left a small cartouche. Decorated with three sailing ships and a compass rose. From the early latin edition of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1579. Latin text on verso.
