Small map of the western part of England and northern Wales including the cities of Lancaster, Stafford, Hereford, Cardigan and Flint. Includes the Isle of Man and a small part of the Irish coastline. Decorated with strapwork title and scale cartouches. 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.
