Plantin left his native France for Belgium because of religious persecution. In Antwerp his work, at first as a bookbinder, began in 1549. He began the production and publishing of books as a printer in 1555. His establishment continued to work until 1867 and is now preserved as the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp. Plantin was the leading European printer of the second half of the 16th cent., and his books are admired for their accuracy and their typography. His equipment included types designed by Garamond and Granjon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eIn VG to VG+ antiquarian condition, beautifully hand colored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eA pleasing example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eSheet measures c. 17\" W  x  13\" H;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eimage area c. 12 1\/4\" W  x  9\" H.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eDeys, \u003cem\u003e Guicciardini Illustratus, \u003c\/em\u003e p. 320 (1.1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eTooleys \u003cem\u003e Dictionary of Mapmakers \u003c\/em\u003e , vol..3 , p.442\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eR848\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brian DiMambro- Antiquarian Books, Maps \u0026 Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68371503612127,"sku":"cxk1793761095761","price":120.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/0873\/8015\/files\/roermond-holland-city-plan-guicciardini-1582-plantin-fine-antique-map-hand-color_1.jpg?v=1793761107","url":"https:\/\/shopwearfashion.shop\/products\/roermond-holland-city-plan-guicciardini-1582-plantin-fine-antique-map-hand-color","provider":"Glenda","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
