POLONIA, 1616–1618

Petrus Bertius:  “POLONIA,” Amsterdam, 5 x 3.5 inches / 95 x 135 mm, in versions engraved by Hondius and printed from the second plate of two used to illustrate his pocket atlas “Tabularum geographicarum contractarum'” (first published 1612), with thicker printed borders. The maps from this atlas are largely reductions from a Mercator-Hondius atlas.
