This small map was engraved by Petrus Kaerius and is based on Ortelius' map of the same title. It covers the ancient region of Thrace, present-day European Turkey and part of Greece. The map is graced with two attractive strapwork cartouches.

Cluver's Introductio in Universam Geographicam was a popular atlas, appearing in over 45 editions during a 100-year period. The first edition was published without maps in the 1620s, and the first edition to include maps was published circa 1641. The various editions were published in different cities throughout Europe, including Amsterdam, Nuremberg, and London, often with new sets of maps engraved. This map is from an Amsterdam edition published by Jansson's heirs, which included some maps from the Jansson and Cloppenburgh editions of Atlas Minor.
