Horn, Georg, Jansson, Jan · 1653 · [apud Joannem Janssonium] · 41 pictures

A 1653 atlas of the ancient world compiled by Georg Horn and published by Jan Jansson in Amsterdam, aimed at scholars and readers of classical and biblical history. The pictures are engraved copperplate maps with dense hand-lettered place names, rhumb-line compass roses, decorative cartouches, sea monsters and ships, and mountain ranges drawn in hatched relief, useful to a designer for antique cartographic ornament and typography.
