Pub Title:
Atlas. Tot Amsterdam By Frederick de Wit in de Calverstraet bij den Dam inde Witte Paskaert.
Pub Note:
This atlas marks the appearance of a less expensive atlas in the Dutch atlas market. Without text and in small folio size, it begins a move away from the expensive and elaborate atlases of Blaeu and Visscher, towards the more concise atlases that appear in the 18th century. Date estimated. Relief shown in sketches. Outline color. Hand annotations in the margins of some maps. Image No. 12220059.jp2 is a map likely prepared specially for the atlas owner for whom this was a special locale; this would account for the extensive use of gold on the sheet.
