The map centres on Mansfeld in Saxony, to the west is the city of Halle. It is derived from the work of Stella in 1561 and was published in Abraham Ortelius’ ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’, the first modern atlas, from 1573. This example with Spanish text to the verso was published in 1602 and is in the second state of three. Karrow 72/7.2 & 55/2; Van der Broecke 39.
