- Yellowed/ sl. browned (left half worse); central fold strengthened on recto in lower blank margin.

= Van den Broecke 1.1; Shirley 122, state 1 of plate 1 (of 3): "Ortelius' world map is a simplified one-sheet reduction of Mercator's large world map which had appeared the year before. (...) Between the oval circumference of the map and the outer frame are now clouds, and, below, a quotation from Cicero. From surviving correspondence it is known that Mercator generously encouraged Ortelius to make use of his published corpus of research. (...) Between 1575 and 1579 the plate became cracked across the lower left-hand corner."
