Description: This beautiful copper engraved map is from the Mercator Minor Atlas and has beautiful modern hand coloring. This map is from the large version of Gerard Mercators famous Atlas Minor by Johannis Cloppenburgh. The maps in the Cloppenburgh are based on the earlier Atlas Minor editions but with fresh engravings and considerably larger than the maps in the other editions of the Atlas Minor. Jodocus Hondius (Mercator's son-in-law, and heir) published the first edition of the Atlas Minor in 1607, introducing small format atlases so that 'a larger public might have access to the use of maps' (Koeman). Pieter van der Keere engraved many of the plates in this Cloppenburgh edition. This is an original antique, NOT a reproduction and guaranteed to be over 375 years old.
