Description

Originally engraved by Gerard Mercator and they were bought in 1604 by Jodocus Hondius.

Hondius, with his sons, Jodocus II and Henricus, published enlarged editions which dominated the map market for the following twenty to thirty years.

In very good condition with rich colours. A good and strong impression with only some small stains at the top margin, well away from the engraved area.
