- Lot Description
Jan Jansson (1588-1664). Virginiae partis australis, et Floridae partis orientalis, interjacentiumq regionum nova descriptio. Amsterdam, circa 1640. Image 15 1/8 x 19 3/4 in. Visible 22 9/16 x 19 5/16 in., housed in a 24 3/16 x 20 15/16 in. frame.
Burden 254; Cumming no.42.
A beautiful, early Dutch map plotting the southeastern United States with particular focus on the Carolinas.
Nearly identical to the 1640 William Blaeu map of the same title, one of the only distinguishing points is that Jansson's map prints the correct longitudinal number "300" in the lower right corner, with Blaeu's misprinting it as "200".
The map appeared in many editions of his atlases, though apparently the same plate was used in all.
As Cumming remarks, "Blaeu is unsurpassed among cartographers in his artistic use of ornamental detail and in the use of swash lettering and other devices to fill up gaps in topographical knowledge." (Cumming p. 97)
Based on the 1606 Mercator-Hondius map, Blaeu attempted to incorporate new geographical knowledge, notably reducing North Carolina to the correct reduced size as well as a more accurate representation of the South Carolina coast, which was greatly contracted in the Mercator map. Many new names were added as well, especially in the northern regions.
