BLAEU, WILLEM. Virginiae partis australis, et Floridae partis orientalis. Double-page engraved map, 385x510 mm, wide margins, German text on verso; hand-colored in outline; very minor light foxing mostly in margins. Amsterdam, circa 1640
- Notes: The second state, with the tailed-cherub and the misnumbered longitude in the bottom gradient. This copy extracted from a German language edition of the Atlas Major (unlisted by Koeman). "Cartographically it forms a marked improvement on the Jodocus Hondius map of 1606, from which this was largely derived. It also amply illustrates the direction that engraving styles had moved, being more open and florid"--Burden 253.
