Atlas Minor, Das ist, Eine kurtze jedoch gründliche Beschreibung der gantzen Welt in zwey Theile abgetheilt : mit vielen schönen newen Kupfferstücken und Land-Beschreibungen vermehret und verbessert
Atlas Minor, a German-language pocket atlas of the world compiled from Gerhard Mercator's work and published by Jan Jansson in 1648, intended for general readers and students. The four copperplate maps show Germania, the Dutch provinces of Overijssel and Drenthe, Persia, and the Verona and Vicenza region, each with hand-coloured borders, cartouches, and dense place names in a mostly yellow and green palette that a designer might borrow for antique cartographic framing.
