Beautiful map of the island of Java and part of Borneo, Bali, Madura and Sumatra. With decorative cartouches featuring natives and Chinese merchants flanking the title and Neptune and mermaids surrounding the scale of miles. This map originates from 'Atlantis Majoris, quinta pars (..)'. Artists and Engravers: Jan Janssonius (also known as Johann or Jan Jansson or Janszoon) (1588-1664) was a renowned geographer and publisher of the seventeenth century, when the Dutch dominated map publishing in Europe. Born in Arnhem, Jan was first exposed to the trade via his father, who was also a bookseller and publisher. In 1612, Jan married the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, who was also a prominent mapmaker and seller. Jonssonius? first maps date from 1616.
