Historical map of the Pacific Ocean, China, and America from the late 16th century created by Abrahamus Ortelius.
The map depicts the vast Pacific Ocean separating the Americas (top right in yellow) from China (bottom left). The map highlights all ports and access or landing locations for the Americas.
In the lower left corner of the map, there is a description enclosed within a crest.
The map is part of a private collection.
Abraham Ortelius (Latinized as Abrahamus Ortelius or Orthellius, from the Flemish Abraham Oertel, Ortels, or Hortels) (Antwerp, April 14, 1527 – Antwerp, June 28, 1598) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer. Ortelius, along with Mercator, was a great founder of Flemish cartography and is remembered for publishing the first modern atlas.
