Item description from seller

Hand-Colored Original Etching by Joan. Janssonius, depicting Germaniae veteris Nova Descriptio. Published Amsterdam, Janssonius Joan., 1662. Sheet: 38 x 48 cm (15 x 19 inches). A fine and original hand-colored example of Janssonius's celebrated cartographic work, documenting this region of Germany with the precision and decorative artistry characteristic of the 16600s. Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664) was one of the foremost Dutch cartographers and publishers of the 17th century, based in Amsterdam. A son-in-law of Jodocus Hondius, he continued the great Mercator-Hondius atlas tradition and was a fierce rival of Joan Blaeu. His multi-volume atlases -- published under the Mercator/Hondius/Janssonius imprint -- were standard reference works of the age, known for accurate engraving and fine hand coloring. Janssonius maps represent the very best of the Dutch Golden Age of cartography and are held in major collections worldwide.This original etching, with original hand coloring depicts the region of Germaniae veteris Nova Descriptio., published in Amsterdam, Janssonius Joan., 1662. The map records the political and geographic boundaries of the region as understood in 1662, offering a fascinating window into the history of German territorial organization. Sheet measures 38 x 48 cm (15 x 19 inches). In good condition overall, with minor signs of age appropriate for a 17th-century engraving. Ready to frame. Koeman I / 2000H:1B Small defect at the lower edge. Else in excellent condition. 38 x 48 cm (15 x 19 inches).…
