This map was first published in the Latin edition of Abraham Ortelius’ ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’ in 1579, the first modern atlas of the world. This is the right half of a folio sheet map which depicts the region of Waldeck, derived from Justus Meurs’ six-sheet map of the region published in 1572. Van den Broecke 98b; Meurer p. 202.
