Cartographica Neerlandica

Specialists in antique maps by Abraham Ortelius and the golden age of Dutch cartography

Welcome

Founded by Dr. Marcel van den Broecke (1942–2020) and Dr. Deborah van den Broecke-Günzburger, Cartographica Neerlandica is now run by Deborah. We sell original antique maps, specialising in atlas maps by Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598), whose Theatrum Orbis Terrarum was the first “modern” atlas ever published.

We still have a selection of maps from this atlas and other 16th to 18th century cartography available. Browse our current stock while it lasts.
