JUTLAND. Iutiæ Tabula in qua sunt Dioeceses Alburgensis, Wiburgensis, Ripensis et Arhusiensis (etc). Copperplate. Amsterdam, F. de Wit, London, 1680-83 , Johannes Janssonius van Waesbergen, Moses Pitt en Steven Swart. Ca 58x48cm. Contemporary handcoloured map. The Atlas Maior by Johannes Janssonius served as a basis for the atlas with english text, undertaken by Moses Pitt of London in 1680-83, with the co-publishers J. Janssonius van Waesbergen (c.1616/17-1681) , his sons, and Steven Swart (1641-1683). Both publishers had versions with their own imprint. Their Ambitions were high but the (financial) succes was low, as the enterprise collapsed, due tot financial problems after the fourth volume. The first volume of the English Atlas (northern Europe) was compiled by Thomas Lane, Obadiah Walker and Hugh Todd. The text was printed at Oxford 'at the Theater', The maps are generally printed from reworked plates of Janssonius, and they added the imprint of Janssionius van Waesbergen and Pitt , and to facilitate finding places with the index , the grid of parallels and meridians. In all probability the maps were printed in Amsterdam and shipped to Oxford to be bound with the text.Copy on heavy paper, Very rare edition !! [Ordernr.: 22868 ]
