Charming small version of Jansson's mapping of the vicinity of Paris, based on a manuscript map attributed to Francois de la Guillotiere. It extends to include Pentioise, Senlis, and Meaux. Engraved by Petrus Kaerius (Pieter van den Keere). Latin 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.
