Beautiful map of present-day Estonia, Latvia, and part of Lithuania. It is fully engraved to illustrate the forests, cities, and villages and embellished with a strapwork title cartouche and scale of miles. German 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.
