Engraving with original hand color.
From Geradi Mercatoris et I. Hondii Atlas.Amsterdam, c. 1636 (English Text).
24 1/2" x 18" sheet, 33" x 29 1/2" framed.
Comparable: Arader Galleries, 2019 - $2,625.
Jansonn's Rare Map of the Atlantic Coast with English text on verso. This is the first state of Jansson's important map of the eastern coast of North America covering from just south of the outer banks in present-day North Carolina to Nova Scotia. The map is based on the less well-known map of Johannes de Laet of 1630, but covers a slightly larger area. Because of its wider distribution, Jansson's map was much more influential, particularly with its depiction of the Dutch of Nieuw Nederland (New York) (Burden, 247).
