Greece 1660 Jan Jansson Watercolour Map Peloponesus Sive Morea I Laurenbergio

This is an authentic antique map of Peloponnese or the Morea peninsula by Jan Jansson. The map was published in Jansson’s “Atlantis majoris” in Amsterdam, circa 1660.

This striking map shows southern Greece from Thebes and Athens in the north, to the southern coast of Peloponnese and includes several islands surrounding the massive peninsula. Rivers, forests, cities, and villages are noted throughout and regional borders within Peloponnese are delineated.

Decorative elements include several ships, some of which appear in battle and decorative cartouches.

The condition is excellent so far as I can see, there will naturally be age related patina, it looks to be a hand watercolour piece.
