370 x 490 mm., in superb early wash colour, minor paper crease lower left otherwise in good condition with generous margins.

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. A later issue of the Jan Jansson map first published in the 'Atlas Novus' 1646. From a Dutch composite atlas by Petrus Schenk and Gerard Valk with as usual no text on the verso. Refer Hodson I 130; Skelton 66; ; Smith Hereford pp. 70-1; Van der Krogt, P. (Atlantes) 5510:1.2.
