Magnificent example of Blaeu's work with blank verso, indicating this is a Dutch edition. Features large icon of London at upper right. Surrounded with coats-of-arms, royal crest with crown and flags, and title cartouche featuring a stag and stag hound. Paper has a very large watermark of Atlas holding the world.

Condition: A
Beautiful impression and color on full sheet of hand laid paper with huge margins. A couple tiny holes in margin and an old repair at edge, all far away from map image. Slight printer's crease into lower right quadrant, else fine.
