JANSSON, Joannes (1588-1664). Mappa Aestivarum Insularum, alias Barmudas. Amsterdam, [ca 1654].
Engraved map of Bermuda, contemporary outline coloring, image 395 x 520 mm (482 x 590 mm sheet). Three cartouches, two crests, compass roses, fleur-de-lys pointer and rhumb lines, French text on verso. (Faint color, a few short marginal tears repaired on verso, some light browning.)
Based on Richard Norwood's 1618 map, the engraving actually includes two maps of Bermuda: besides the large depiction of Bermuda, is another small depiction of Bermuda ("Bermudas Insul, alias Sommer Island") in the center of the map. It relates in scale to the upper border of the map showing Cape Cod, Nova Scotia and Virginia. (Roanoke, Cape Henry and Cape Charles).
