Sinopsis

Published in Antwerp in 1570, the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" did something no previous book had done: here was the world in all its component parts, the chance to see out planet as a place of staggering variety and ultimate unity. The world's first-ever atlas was the brain-child of Abraham Ortelius; it reflected the great vitality of the era, the prevailing zest for exploration and discovery and the linked activities of commerce and map-making. It was a work born of collaborative friendships: Ortelius' circle included two key figures of the age - printer Christophe Plantin and geographer Gerard Mercator. and brings vividly to life the Antwerp that produced Ortelius and his momentous work.

Condiciones de env�o

Postage and packing is charged at our rate listed with ABE. However it is worth pointing out that UK postage just goes on going up and that sending a huge Fine Art book to Timbuctoo is simply not going to travel there for six or seven quid. On more recent listings we include a warning to this effect in the description of heavier books. We feel that clarifying this is in everyone's best interests and mention it because mostly we're not paperback merchants and include a sizeable number of hefty books in our stock. Even surface mail is creeping up and in due course may it may be that we're entering a time when sending heavy books overseas will soon be no longer feasible unless you're happy to take out a mortgage for the fee. We've tried the alternatives to Royal Mail and by and large for us they've been found wanting.
