Prussia. De Jode (Gerard), Prussiae Regionis Sarmatiae Europae Nobibilis simae nova et vera descriptio , Antwerp, circa 1593, uncoloured engraved map with contemporary outline colouring, large strapwork cartouche and mileage scale, 365 x 495 mm, Latin text on verso (Qty: 1)NOTESA scarce early map of Prussia printed in Antwerp by Gerard de Jode's son, Cornelis. De Jode maps are scarce because the publication of his atlas was deliberately hampered by his cartographic rival Abraham Ortelius who quite rightly perceived De Jode as a serious threat to his dominance of 16th century atlas and map publishing. Ortelius was very well connected and used his influence to block the publication of De Jode's 'Speculum Orbis Terrae' for over five years. De Jode's maps are visually stunning but continued interference by Ortelius resulted in commercial failure and they are rarely available today because so few copies of the atlas were ever sold.
