"Map of India to New Guinea, c.1570-1603" is a historical cartographic work created by the renowned Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius. Ortelius, born in 1527 in Antwerp, is often celebrated as the creator of the first modern atlas, the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theatre of the World), first published in 1570. This particular map is part of his extensive body of work that significantly contributed to the field of cartography during the Age of Exploration.

The map, which dates from the late 16th to early 17th century, showcases the geographical knowledge of the time, spanning from the Indian subcontinent to the island of New Guinea. This period was marked by significant European exploration and expansion, and Ortelius's maps were instrumental in disseminating new geographical information across Europe. His work is characterized by meticulous detail and artistic flourishes, reflecting both the scientific and aesthetic values of the Renaissance.

Ortelius's maps were based on the latest available information from explorers, traders, and earlier cartographers. The "Map of India to New Guinea" would have incorporated data from Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch voyages, among others. This map not only served as a navigational aid but also as a tool for education and a symbol of the expanding world view of the time.

The map is notable for its depiction of the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, and parts of Australasia, regions that were of immense interest to European powers due to their strategic and economic importance. The inclusion of New Guinea highlights the extent of European exploration and the gradual unveiling of the world's geography.

Ortelius's work is highly valued by historians and collectors for its historical significance and artistic quality. His maps are considered masterpieces of Renaissance cartography and provide a fascinating glimpse into the geographical understanding and exploratory ambitions of the 16th and 17th centuries.
