This small map of the northern portion of Lower Saxony shows Bremen at bottom right and is decorated with title and scale cartouches. It illustrates the marshlands and rivers very graphically. French text on verso.

This map was re-engraved for Jan Jansson's editions of the Atlas Minor, published in 5 editions between 1628-48. The copperplates for the original Atlas Minor editions published by Hondius were sold to parties in England between 1621-25. Jansson commissioned Pieter van den Keere and Abraham Goos to engrave new plates, which were close copies of the original editions.
