Beautifully hand-colored, decorative regional map of Burgundy in France, centered on Besancon, Poligny, Quingey and St Anne. Includes a number of famous wine regions, from Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the world.
The map is embellished with a number of striking strapwork cartouches.
This is the first of Ortelius's four maps of Burgundy. It was based on Ferdinand de Lannoy's map of Burgundy from 1563.
