DUCATUS EBORACENSIS PARS BOREALIS. THE NORTH RIDINGE of YORKESHIRE.

Copper engraving by Dutch engraver and publisher, Jan Jansson (1588-1664) issued in his Ioannis Ianssonii Novus Atlas from 1646. Following the publication of a volume of county maps of England and Wales by his rival mapmaker and publisher Jan Blaeu in 1645, Jansson produced his version just one year later matching the superb engraving standard of his rival Blaeu. There were a number of editions of Jansson's work in various languages between 1646 and 1667. Until 1658 the atlas was issued in four or five volumes with the British maps in the fourth volume, later editions expanded to eleven volumes. In 1681 Pieter Schenk and Gerard Valck had acquired the plates and began re-issues with their imprint as loose sheets sold separately and in 1714, 1715 and 1724 in Atlas Anglois, ou description general de l'Angleterre... 
Latin text verso with page numbers 305 & 306 with register OOOOO identify this as the first issue of 1646.
Strong paper with large margins. Browning at centrefold with some scuffing and wear at the bottom (see images 2 & 3). A light stain all round from an old mount, otherwise an attractive map in fine hand colour from the first edtion.
