Tartariae sive Magni Chami Regni Typus by Abraham Ortelius .

Abraham Ortelius was a pioneering Flemish cartographer best known for creating the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (1570), widely regarded as the first modern atlas. A skilled geographer and humanist, Ortelius combined up-to-date knowledge with elegant design, drawing from numerous contemporary sources to create cohesive and artistically rich maps. His work played a vital role in shaping the European worldview during the Age of Discovery, blending scientific curiosity with Renaissance aesthetics.

Tartariae sive Magni Chami Regni Typus, first published in 1570, depicts the vast and mysterious territories of Tartary—stretching across Central Asia, Siberia, and parts of China—under the supposed rule of the Great Khan. Richly illustrated, the map reflects both actual geographic knowledge and mythic conceptions of the East, including legendary cities and peoples. Ortelius presents a European perspective on Asia that blends Marco Polo's accounts with early modern data, offering a window into the West’s fascination with and misunderstanding of distant empires.

You are purchasing a beautiful piece of art. The image has been carefully digitally remastered, maintaining the fidelity of the original vintage artwork.

Different paper sizes have different aspect ratios. We always give priority to the work of the artist, so try whenever possible to not stretch/expand it, or do it minimally. This means that some paper sizes will have more or less margins on the sides of the artwork, depending on how the aspect ratio of the paper chosen size has in relation to the original aspect ratio of the piece of art.

The print is sold without any framing.

Some mockup images might show how the poster looks framed, so you can have a visual reference how it would look framed, but what is sold on this list is the image printed on the matte paper of your choice without any frame included.

Not every size has an image attached to it as Etsy has a limitation of 10 images to be shown per product , and we offer many times more than 10 different sizes, we also sometimes show how it looks framed or publish high resolution details of the artwork. This makes it not possible to depict every combination of paper and size, so the piece of art will be the same but more or less blank margins might surround it depending on the chose size.

We have a professional printing partner with printing facilities in over 30 countries in the world. This allows fast shipping, consistent quality supervised by this partner and the avoidance of taxes and delays due to customs.

📏📐SIZES:

When you choose the size, you will see that it has 2 measurements, one in the Metric System (cm) and one in the Imperial System (inches). They are very close but not identical If the print destination is in the United States or Canada you will receive the print with the inches value . If the destination is in any country of the rest of the world, you will receive the print in the cm value. For example, if you order a 50x70cm / 20x28". In the US or Canada you would receive a 20x28" print and in any other country in the world a 50x70cm print.
Bear in mind that if you order from a metric system country, but your destination is the US or Canada you that destination will receive the print in the imperial system even if you ordered from a country with the metric system. That is because we work with local laboratories that in those two countries have the paper measures in inches. The same would be true if you order from the US/Canada to send to another place in the world. The destination would receive the equivalent size in cm.
