"Verona, Vicentiae et Pataviae Dit.", Mercator/Jansson

This charming map of northeastern Italy depicts the towns, rivers, and mountainous topography of the region. The map extends from the Adriatic Sea to Lake Garda and includes the cities of Venice, Verona, and Padua. Adorned with a strapwork title cartouche that incorporates the distance scale. German 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.
