    • This miniature map of Austria was engraved by brothers Ambrose and Ferdinand Arsenius circa 1601 for a third ‘epitome’ (or pocket version) of Ortelius’ atlas, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. 

    The Arsenius brothers had engraved maps for the full-size folio Theatrum too, and this series of miniature maps rivalled and replaced Philip Galle’s earlier versions.  Read more
