Map Maker: Jan Jansson

Description:

Decorative example of the Jansson's map of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The map extends from the Italy and Sicily to Asia Minor, Cyprus, Syria and the Holy Land.

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.

Condition Description: Repairs to centerfold and one other tear. Outer margins a bit ragged, but far from printed image. Some thin spots at lower centerfold, beginning above the coastline of Barbaria and running down through the compass rose.
