1695 1st English ed Thesaurus Geographicus ATLAS Illustrated Maps Voyages Moll In the mid-16th-century, Abraham Ortelius produced the first Modern atlas known as the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum . It was immensely popular throughout Europe and was reissued in many languages for centuries. This 1695 printing by Herman Moll was the first English edition of an incredible atlas; however, this work is so much more than a collection of Ortelius maps. This book includes extensive descriptions of a...nimals, as well as travel guides for various towns, and Native American tribes in the New World. In addition to maps, other illustrations feature depictions of fortifications, compasses, navigational phenomena, rivers, and thorough descriptions of Great Britain.
