"Walachia Servia, Bulgaria, et Romania", Mercator/Jansson

Crisply engraved small map of the Eastern Balkans, centered on Bulgaria and including the Bosphorus and Constantinople. It is adorned with strapwork title and distance scale cartouches. 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.
