Finely colored example of Jansson's edition of Hessel Gerritsz' rare chart of 1631.
The area covered is exactly the same as the original Gerritsz map, except for the addition of the west coat of Central America. The nomenclature in North America is virtually identical, other than the addition of Virginia on this map. It reflects the first hand knowledge of Gerritsz during his voyage to South America and the West Indies undertaken in 1628.
A nice example in full color, with rhumb lines, sailing ships, compass rose and fine cartouches.
