Description
Ortelius/Coignet 1601 America In 1601 Johannes Keerhergen produced a competitive version of Ortelius' miniature atlas. The maps were engraved by the brothers Ambrosius and Ferdinand Arsenius and Michel Coignet supplied the text. The map is lacking a great deal of detail but is interesting for a number of spurious rivers in North America, most notably two in Virginia, several feeding into the Gulf of California and the R. Grande on the west coast near Quivera. The map is decorated with a large ship and several sea monsters and is surrounded in a strapwork border. Latin text on verso. See also lot 794 for Burden's reference book that discusses this map. A clean and bright example with a nice impression. A chip at top right has been professionally repaired, not impacting image.

Terms & Conditions
- All lots are offered for sale in USD ($) by Old World Auctions, either as owner or as agent for various Consignors. These CONDITIONS OF SALE, as set forth in this catalog, are the complete, and only, terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. By bidding at auction, the buyer agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.
- Bids must be received by 10 PM Eastern Time of the closing date of the auction. Bids may be changed at any time up to the close, but cannot be cancelled after the close.
- In the case of identical high bids, preference goes to the first received. If any dispute arises, the auctioneer's decision shall be absolute and final.
- The estimated price shown for each lot should be used only as a guide. Lots may end up selling for more or less than the estimated price. Bids must be placed in fixed bidding increments. Bids received, which are not in accordance with bidding increments, will be reduced to the next lower increment.
- There is no obligation to sell items at less than the reserve price. Where reserves exist, they are no more than 75% of the low estimate, unless noted. Reserves of 75% or less will be kept confidential. Bids of less than 50% of the estimate are not accepted on lots with reserve values.
- High bids will be reduced to the reserve, or to the increment above the next highest bid, which ever is greater.
- A 15% buyer's premium will be added to all invoices.
- Invoices will be prepared within five business days following the auction close and emailed to you. Payment is due on receipt of the invoice. You must approve the invoice or contact us directly within three days of the receipt of the invoice.

- We warranty the authenticity and condition of each lot described in this catalog. Defects in lots offered for sale have been carefully noted. If a lot is found to be substantially non-conforming to its catalog description, thereby significantly reducing its value, the purchaser must notify Old World Auction within one week of receipt.
