"Austriae Ducatus Chorographia, Wolfgango Lazio Auctore", Ortelius, Abraham

This handsome map of Austria presents a distorted picture of the course of the rivers Drau, Mur, Gurk and Lavant with numerous spurious lakes. The rivers in the north are much more accurately represented. Oval title cartouche and scale of miles with dividers and a coat of arms adorn the sheet. This is the second state with the addition of "Stubming fl." near the center of the map. German text on verso.

References: Van den Broecke #105.2.

Condition: B+

A sharp impression with full contemporary color, light toning along the centerfold, marginal soiling, and small remnants of hinge tape on verso.
