Lancastria, Cestria, Caernarvan, Denbich, .. ., an original antique map by J Jansson, published in Amsterdam, 1628. A copperplate engraving, coloured. Map size 20 x 15 cm, overall mounted size 35.5 x 30 cm. An attractive map of the north-western counties of England & part of North Wales. In 1607 Jodocus Hondius published a reduced size version of Gerard Mercator's renowned Atlas, itself suitably titled Atlas Minor. The maps were copied from those of the great cartographer Mercator of around 1580-90 or were reductions of Hondius' own maps of 1606. The popularity of the smaller format & reduced price, compared with the folio issues of Atlas, was reflected in the many subsequent editions & in the variety of derivative publications in similar style. Almost 20 years later the map & atlas publisher Joannes Janssonius commissioned a new set of copperplates to be engraved by Pieter Van Den Keere (often signed Kaerius) & Abraham Goos, two of the most proficient & experienced Dutch map engravers of the period. These maps were elegantly designed with decorative title cartouches, & were finely engraved & surprisingly detailed, elements particularly noticeable in their early printings, as here. Koeman, Atlantes Neerlandici, Me 194. Antique maps from various original publishers are presented on the Stanford ...
