"Caletensium et Bononiensium Ditionis Accurata Delineatio. [on sheet with] Veromanduorum Eorumque Confinium Exactissima Descriptio Iohanne Surhonio Auctore", Ortelius, Abraham

Two maps on a folio sheet. Calentensium covers the coastline between Calais and Estaples in very good detail, based in part on a four-sheet map by Nicolas de Nicolay. Veromanduorum covers a small region surrounding Saint-Quentin in northern France. The cartographical source of the map was Jean de Surhon who received royal privilege to make a map of the region in 1557. Each is covered with tiny forests and cities and has a decorative title cartouche. Latin text on verso.
