Description
In 1645, Joan Blaeu (1598-1673) successfully published an atlas of England. Blaeu based this atlas on the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine published by his English colleague John Speed (1552-1629) in 1611. Infected by this success, Blaeus neighbour, Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664), copied the complete atlas. Janssonius published this pirate issue in 1646. This map of the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man has been taken from Janssonius atlas. The map is enriched with allegorical figures and attributes representing the economical and cultural character of the province.
