About the Item

Framed colored example of this decorative and important minature map. Newly framed in brown wood frame with gold trim. Mercator Hondius “Atlas Minor” published in Amsterdam in 1648 at Jannsonius with a copy of the original german text on verso. The miniature version of the Mercator Hondius map of Mexico from the Atlas Minor, published by Claesz and Jan Jansson. In 1607 Jodocus Hondius published a reduced size version of Mercator’s “Atlas”, itself suitably titled “Atlas Minor”. The maps were copied from those of the great cartographer Mercator of circa 1580-1590 or were reductions of Hondius’ own maps of 1606.
