Published Amsterdam, 1630 for Gerard Mercator's "Atlas Minor".
A nice example with very pleasing full hand color, numerous important towns in Switzerland are highlighted with tiny cathedral symbols. Title sits within a strapwork cartouche as does the distance scale.
Sheet measures 9" x 6 1/2", engraved area measures 7 1/2" x 5 1/2".
In VG condition, a bit of dampstaining at right side, easy to overlook visually once matted, still very appealing visually.
A desirable early 17th century map of Lake Geneva and the Swiss alps, from this scarce and now very expensive atlas.
