This beautifully
engraved hand coloured original map
of
the North Sea and the Netherlands was
published by Jan Jansson in the 1652 edition of
Accuratissima Orbis Antiqui Delineatio.
The
cartographical information from this map was borrowed
from the Abraham Ortelius map Daciarum Moesiarum first
published in Parergon
in 1595.
