This is a very scarce little map from Colom's only land atlas. It provides an excellent view of the coastal region south of Calais. The map extends inland to include Douai and Cambrai and presents considerable detail for its size. Jacob Aertsz Colom was the founder of the Colom publishing company. He founded the Navigation School in Amsterdam, and published a number of fine sea charts, coasting pilots and this small atlas of Belgium and The Netherlands.
