Prepared by Jacob Surhon who made a manuscript map of Artois for which he received 36 Livres from Charles V in 1554. For security reasons the map was not published. Only in 1579, when Antwerp was independent for a short time, Ortelius used the map for publication in his atlas.This is the last and very rare state with the signature of Theodorus Galle.
