This facsimile was created in 1882 as 9 separate copper engraved sheets. It is accompanied by 2 smaller sheets intended to be pasted over blank spots on map. The AGS Library copy is mounted on linen with the blank spaces intact. Gerhard Mercator's 1540 map is the first of the county of Flanders and gives a surprisingly accurate picture of Flanders and a portion of Northern France. The original is held at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp Belgium and thought to be the only surviving copy.
