Among the atlases and Americana included in this exhibit are those donated by Duncan Payne '63, including a 1587 French translation of Ortelius’s Theatrum orbis terrarum that complements the English and Latin editions of the same title acquired by Lehigh in the 19th century. Mr. Payne’s bequest also included the four volumes of Braun’s Civitates Orbis Terrarum, displayed in the Linderman Library Grand Reading Room. The Lehigh Libraries are most grateful for these titles and other generous gifts from the Payne family.
