The work titled "Orbis Terrarum Typus de Integro Multis in Locis Emendatus" is a world map created in 1594 by Jan Huygen van Linschoten, with contributions from Bernard Paludanus and Petro Plancius, and engraved by Jan van Doetecum. IThe map was published by Evert Cloppenburgh and is part of Jan Huygen van Linschoten's "Itinerio," a significant volume that unveiled Portuguese trade secrets in South Asia to the European world.
This map is notable for being among the first to use highly decorated borders, establishing a stylistic precedent for world maps in the following century. The composition includes two main hemispheres depicting the Eastern and Western worlds. These are surrounded by intricate illustrations, including allegorical figures, fauna, and flora, representing different continents and elements of nature. The map's artistic embellishments signify the geographical understanding and artistic expression of the late 16th century.
