Description
Japonia Nova Descriptio. Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664). Copperplate Engraving. Amsterdam, c. 1639. 17 3/4 x 22 1/2 inches sheet. This map published by Jansson is taken directly from the Jodocus Hondius map - first published in 1606 - of Japan which faithfully followed the Ortelius/Teixeira style. Jansson has added an explanation for Korea, saying he was not yet certain whether it was an island or part of the mainland. The rest of Jansson’s changes were ornamental, replacing the bottom Chinese Junk with a European ship & monster as well as changing the title and scale cartouches.
