Map, uncoloured engraving, Lancastria, Cestria ... ie
Lancashire, Cheshire ..., part of England, scale about 28
miles to 1 inch, probably engraved by Peter Keer, published
by John Jansson, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1630s.
The text on the reverse, page 40, is in German in a gothic typeface, the map is on page 39, which identifies the map as coming from an edition of Atlas Minor Gerardi Mercatoris, 1628 onwards. The map is a new engraving, probably by Pieter van den Keere, from the small map by Jodocus Hondius 1607, derived from Mercator's larger map 1595, for a new edition of Gerard Mercator's Atlas Minor. |
