TERRITORIO DI SIENA con il Ducato di CASTRO

Johannes Janssonius (1588 - 1664), more familiarly known as Jan Jansson, was a Dutch cartographer who produced his first maps of France and Italy in 1616 and continued from then onwards publishing a large number of maps which were almost comparable to Blaeu in quality. During the 1630s he went into partnership with his brother-in-law Henricus Hondius and published more editions of the highly regarded Mercator/Hondius/Jansson atlases. This attractive map of Siena region with the islands of Elba and Monte Christo was published in the two-volume 'Atlas Contractus' two years after Jansson's death by his son-in-law, Jan Jansson van Waesbergen.
