Jan Jansson: Insularum Hispaniolae et Cubae, Cum Insulis circumjacentibus
Title: Insularum Hispaniolae et Cubae, Cum Insulis circumjacentibus Map Maker: Jan Jansson
Description: Striking full color example of the first edition of Jansson's map of Southern Florida and the Western Caribbean, including the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica and Hispaniola. Cartographically the map is drawn from the extremely rare Hessel Gerritz chart of c. 1631. The nomenclature of the Florida peninsula matches, with the exception of five names at the southern tip. The most interesting feature is the reintroduction of a mountain range; this had not been seen on a map of the region since those of de Bry in the 1590s. After a brief period where the name Tegesta was applied, FLORIDA is used again. Condition Description: Several repaired minor surface abrasions in Cuba. References: Burden 291, state 1.
