"Pascaart vande Oost-Zee... / Tabula Hydrogtaphica Maris Baltici...", Jansson, Jan

A scarce sea chart of the Baltic Sea, extending from Kalingrad and Riga to just past Stockholm and into the Gulf of Finland. The islands of Gotland, Bornholm, Rugen, Oland, and Oesel are delineated, and there is excellent detail of the coastlines with rivers and inlets named and depth soundings given. There are two decorative compass roses orienting the map, and thee ships grace the sea. The title is attended by a pair of fishermen with their catch in the lower right, and Jansson's imprint appears in a cartouche at top left flanked by cherubs holding navigational tools. French text on verso, published between 1650-57.
