IdentifierMaps_48bDate1663DescriptionThis is a reengraved, revised copy of the Hendrick Hondius world map of 1641 (map 33). It was created by Jacob Colom in Amsterdam in 1663. Medallion portraits of Copernicus and Tycho Brahe have replaced portraits of Gerard Mercator and Jodocus Hondius. There are a number of geographical alterations, especially to the American Artic, Australia, and the Pacific, but the configuration for the Gulf coast is unchanged. Phillips (Atlases, no, 480) lists a 1669 Spanish edition of Colon's atlas (Atlas Maritimo) that contains this map.Language NoteLatinSubjectWorld mapsCopyright StatementNo Copyright – Non-Commercial Use OnlySize39x54 centimeters.CartographerJacob Colom
