Magni Ducatus Lithuaniae et Regio- num Adiacentium exacta Descriptio.., 1685–1690

Willem Blaeu (mapmaker) – Hessel Gerritsz (engraver) – Abraham Wolfgang (1685 publisher): “Magni Ducatus Lithuaniae et Regionum Adiacentium exacta Descriptio..,” Amsterdam, in two late editions of Blaeu’s 1613 map. Blaeu’s print shop burned in 1672, Willem’s son Johannes died in 1673, and this surviving plate was sold at a 1674 auction  to Frederick de Wit, who added his name to the cartouche in 1689. Blaeu’s printed stock without Wit’s name would last until 1695, when the remaining inventory was sold.
