**RARE 1606 ABRAHAM ORTELIUS MULTI-MAP OF SPAIN (CADIZ, GUIPÚZCOA & TOLEDO) – 1ST ENGLISH EDITION** An exceptional opportunity to acquire an authentic, original 420-year-old copper-plate engraved sheet featuring three distinct regional maps of imperial Spain on a single page, published by the legendary Abraham Ortelius. This specific sheet is from the landmark **1606 First English Edition** of the *Theatrum Orbis Terrarum* (Page 20), published in London by John Bill and Johann Baptist Vrients. It represents the only English-language version of Ortelius’s monumental atlas ever printed, making it highly prized by global collectors for its distinctive Jacobean English text layout on the reverse. **MAP DETAILS:** * **Bottom Map (Bay of Cadiz / Sinvs Gaditanvs):** Based on the famous panoramic views by artist Georg Hoefnagel. It richly depicts the strategic island city of Cadiz (Cadiz urbs), coastal forts, and rolling topographies. Beautifully adorned with a massive, rolling title banner, two circular strapwork inset medallions showing local allegories, a compass rose, and detailed Renaissance ships navigating the Atlantic Ocean. * **Top Left Map (Carpetania / Carpetaniac Partis):** Captures the central heartland of Spain, detailing Toledo and the early territory surrounding Madrid along the Tagus River basin. * **Top Right Map (Guipúzcoa / Guipvscoae Regionis):** Maps the rugged Basque Country coastline along the Bay of Biscay, showcasing San Sebastián, Fuenterrabía, and the mountainous borders facing France. * **The English Verso:** The reverse side displays the original 1606 English typeset narratives titled "GADES: otherwise called CADIZ, CALIZ, or CALIS-MALIS," "GVIPVSCO," and "CARPETANIA." The page number "20" is clearly visible, verifying its rare London press provenance.
