Noted art historian, James A. Welu, comments on \"their richness of ornamentation, [they are] a combination of science and art that has rarely been surpassed in the history of mapmaking... Ortelius's \u003cem\u003eTheatrum\u003c\/em\u003e is known for its numerous decorative cartouches, which undoubtedly added to the atlas's long popularity.\" (Art and Cartography, pp. 145-146)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTheatrum Orbis Terrarum\u003c\/em\u003e is widely recognized as the first modern atlas which shaped the future of cartography throughout the 17th century. It utilized text and maps to fully explore the known world. \"The publication of this atlas [ Theatrum, 1570] marked an epoch in the history of cartography. It was the first uniformly sized, systematic collection of maps of the countries of the world based only on contemporary knowledge and in that sense may be called the first modern atlas.\" (Tooley) Frans Hogenberg also worked on the publication of this atlas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbraham Ortelius (1527-1598) was one of the most influential cartographers of the 16th century.

His largest accomplishment was certainly his atlas entitled \u003cem\u003eTheatrum Orbis Terrarum\u003c\/em\u003e.
