This map was originally published in Jan Jansson's 'Atlas Novus'. When compared to the rival Blaeu county maps those of Jansson always appear more decorative. Jansson was a very successful publisher who continued the business first founded by the great Gerard Mercator and subsequently taken over by the Hondius family. This particular map is of Leicestershire and Rutland, the German text is taken from Camden's 'Britannia'. Baum pp. 22-3; Deadman & Brooks pp. 36; Hodson 130; Skelton no. 34; Van der Krogt, P. (Atlantes) 5320:1.
