Description

This map was originally one map of a separate-issue set of world and continents with decorative borders first published in 1618. After the death of the elder son of Jodocus Hondius, many of his plates were sold by his widow to Blaeu, but this plate stayed with the family. In 1631 Henricus put his own name on the plate and added the 1636 date: it is likely that it was at this time that the decorative borders were trimmed off to make the map fit the standard atlas format.
According to Although derived from two maps by Willem Blaeu, Burden notes that ?it was the Hondius, however, that helped to popularize this particular depiction of America, stylized by the inset maps of the two polar regions.?

Info

Do you want to sell your antique maps or atlases?

If you wish to offer us maps for sale, it is most helpful to provide a list of maps which includes the title of the map, the mapmaker, the size of the map (printed image only) and a brief condition report. Pictures are also very helpful. It is typically not necessary to send more than one picture per map, unless requested.
