Handsome small map of the 'boot' of Italy showing the regions of Apulia and Calabria filled with details of mountains, rivers and cities. Decorated with a strapwork title cartouche and a scale of miles flanked by sea monsters. 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.
