Tot Amsterdam, / By Johannes Janssonius van Waesberge, en Soonen. Anno 1676.
Van Waesberge was the
son-in-law of Jan Jansson, succeeding to the publication of
cartographic material, much of which had originated with Mercator and
Hondius. Burden traces the history of the maps of America in
this atlas with originated with Cloppenberg's "middle-size"
format in his Mercator-Hondius atlases from 1630 through 1636.
These plates were altered somewhat and reissued in this atlas. Since
some of the maps are explicitly attributed to Mercator, or Kaerius as engraver,
the cartography undoubtedly dates from the early part of the
seventeenth century.
The
scanned illustrations of maps on
this page tend to distort the color,
which is generally absent except for
some very light time toning.
