"Corsica [on sheet with] Sardinia", Mercator/Jansson

Two small maps of Corsica and Sardinia on a single sheet. Each is filled with depictions of the topography and cities and is adorned with a banner title cartouche. Engraved by Petrus Kaerius (Pieter can den Keere). 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.
