Description
An early and very rare chart of north and west Jutland, orientated with north to the bottom left, with a title in Dutch and French.
It was published in Jansson's 'Het Licht der Zee-vaert', a direct copy of Willem Blaeu's sea atlas, possible because the privilege had lapsed. which prompted Blaeu to market a terrestrial atlas in direct competition to Jansson's.
The differences are the moving of the scale cartouche from Jutland to the bottom left corner and a different galleon bottom right.
