Jan Jansson: Pascaarte Van't Westlyckste Deel vande Middelandsche Zee . . . [Western Mediterranean]
Title: Pascaarte Van't Westlyckste Deel vande Middelandsche Zee . . . [Western Mediterranean] Map Maker: Jan Jansson
Description: Nice example of the Jansson's map of the Western Mediterranean, heightened with gold. The map extends from the Straits of Gibralter to Italy and Sicily and the Coast of Dalmatia. Jansson's Atlantis Majoris was the first widely disseminated sea atlas of the world published in the Netherlands. Intended to be one of the book's in Jansson's Atlas Maior, the maps are now among the earliest obtainable sea charts of the regions covered, preceding the work of Colom, Theunisz, Lootsman, Goos, Roggeveen and Van Keulen, whose sea atlases came to dominate the market in the second half of the 17th Century. Only one catalogue record in AMPR in the past 27 years.
