This decorative and early map shows the south-eastern counties of England; Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. The map had first appeared in Mercator's "Atlas ..." of 1595 before publication was taken over by Hondius and subsequently Jansson. This example is from the 1636 edition of the atlas with English text to the verso. Attractive original outline colour defines the counties. Expert restoration to the centrefold and areas of paper weakness with some paper reinstatement to the edges. Nevertheless, a most attractive example of this early map.
