Kolorierter Kupferstich, Platte 35 x 42 cm, Blatt 44 x 54 cm.
Detaillierte Karte der Landgrafschaft Thüringen, bezeichnet "Thvringia", verso

■ Gerhard Mercator (1512 - 1591), galt in Gelehrtenkreisen seiner Zeit bereits
als bedeutender Kartograf, der das Konzept "Atlas" entwickelte. Mit der von
ihm entworfenen "Mercator-Projektion" in Weltkarten erlangte er Weltruhm, denn
die eingezeichneten Linienwaren für die Navigation in See- und Luftfahrt
unverzichtbar.
■ Jodocus Hondius (1563 - 1612) erweiterte Mercators Weltatlas um ca. 40
Platten nach dessen Tod.
