Wiltshire County Maps
12 12 : Jansson, Jan 1646




Jan Jansson took over the business of Jacobus Hondius.He produced a series of county maps, that are remarkably similar in style to those of his great rival Jan Blaeu.

Jansson's maps appeared in numerous atlases published between 1646 to 1659. They are usually found with original colouring. The paper used was inferior to Blaeu's and is more prone to browning.

In about 1680 John Overton had a very close copy made - see reference wm/12.1.

Pieter Schenck and Gerard Valk acquired the plates in 1681 issuing loose maps initially and atlases in 1714, 1715 and 1724. In these issues the plate was revised to add a graticule of lattitude and longitude and a new imprint. They are usually found either uncoloured or with simple wash colouring of the whole county.
