This map was originally published in Jan Jansson’s ‘Atlas Novus’. When compared to the rival Blaeu county maps those of Jansson always appear more decorative. Jansson was a very successful publisher who continued the business first founded by the great Gerard Mercator and subsequently taken over by the Hondius family. This particular map is of Staffordshire. Hodson (1984-97) no. 130; King (1988) no. 12; Van der Krogt, P. (1997-2003) 5280:1; Skelton (1970) no. 34.
