CYPRUS INS. ( L' Isle de Cypre ), by J. Hondius/ Van Waesberge. Amsterdam. Latin Edition. 1632 [1676]. 26 x 19 cms. Inset of Stalimni, Chius, Mitilene, Negroponte, Cerigo and Rhodus.  It comes from Van Waesberge's  "Nieuwe en beknopte Uytbeeldinge". A little known map of Cyprus, much larger than the normal size of c19 x 14 cms. of the earlier period. Unknown to Stylianou, Zacharakis, BoC and S.Ioannou. Your chance to own something unknown! Wide borders and in excellent condition.

[Van Waesberge was the son-in-law of Jan Jansson, succeeding to the publication of cartographic material, much of which had originated with Mercator and Hondius.  This  atlas originated with Cloppenberg's "middle-size" format in his Mercator-Hondius atlases from 1630 through 1636.  These plates were altered somewhat (cartouche & sea area), enlarged by c 33% and reissued in this atlas; Kaerius being the probable engraver.]
