Old Handcolored Antique Map of Pays De Caux in Normandy, France, ca.1640

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Le Pais de Caux'. Old map of Pays de Caux, France. Pays de Caux is an area in Normandy occupying the greater part of the French département of Seine Maritime in Normandy. It is a chalk plateau to the north of the Seine Estuary and extending to the cliffs on the English Channel coast; its coastline is known as the Côte d'Albâtre. The principal settlements are Le Havre, Dieppe, Fécamp, Yvetot and Étretat. This map originates from a composite atlas. Artists and Engravers: Johannes Janssonius also known as Jan Jansson (1588-1664) was born in Arnhem, Netherlands. His father was a bookseller and publisher (Jan Janszoon the Elder). When he married the daughter of the cartographer Jodocus Hondius he also set up a business as book publisher in Amsterdam. His first map was published in 1616. Around 15 years later he set up a partnership with his brother in law Hondius add issued further editions of the Mercator/Hondius atlas. After his death his heirs still have published several maps. Many of his plates have been acquired by Pieter Schenk and Gerard Valk. Condition: Good, original/contemporary hand coloring. The old color has made the paper fragile a few small tears. Small worm hole near 'Allezon'. Latin text on verso, please study image carefully.
