Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph Vintage Historical Map Print Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Minor finger indentation in upper right margin. A vintage 1965 print (illustration) depicting: ยท Map of Russia, Muscovy & Tartary, in Abraham Ortelius's Theatrum orbis terrarum, as it appeared in his 1570 edition The map in this illustration shows an example of the first map of Russia based on actual exploration. Its content is based on the travels of English merchant and diplomat Anthony Jenkinson, who visited Russia four times between 1557 and 1571. The map details the lands revealed by Jenkinson's first voyage which lasted from 1557 to 1560. His map, which was provided to Ortelius, was completed after that voyage, in 1562.Ortelius' map spans from Latvia, Lithuania, and the Black Sea in the west to the Ob River and the Syr Darya in the East. The south limits of the map are marked by the Caspian Sea and the Amu Darya River (Oxus, here spelled Ougus). The copious detail reaching from the White Sea to the Caspian Sea result from Jenkinson's voyage, which was the first recorded north-south voyage through Russia. His route can be traced south along the Oka and Volga Rivers, passing through the Khanate of Kazan, and arriving in Astrakhan, near the Caspian mouth of the Volga. He then crossed the Caspian Sea, joining a merchant caravan and traveling for several months in the Tatar lands of the Nogai Horde, reaching Bokhara before deciding that wars and banditry blocked further passage. Jenkinson's attempts eastwards are also revealed here Beyond the rivers at the eastern limits of Jenkinson's map, the map is filled with vignettes depicting indigenous scenes, mainly drawn from Marco Polo. Throughout the map there are engraved Tatar warriors and camels, all the excellent work of engraver Franz Hogenberg. In the upper right, Ivan the Terrible himself is enthroned in a tent. ---Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) was a cartographer, geographer, and cosmographer from Antwerp in the Spanish Netherlands. He is recognized as the creator of the first modern atlas, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theater of the World), 1570. --- The vintage 1965 print offered here depicts the map of Tartary and the North Pacific in general by Ortelius as it appeared in his 1570 Antwerp printing.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
