Historic Map of Italy by Janssonius-Hondius "Italia Nuouamente piu perfetta chemai per inanzi posta..." from "Atlas Novus...orbis terrarium" engraved in 1631 and printed in Amsterdam in 1638. Ornamented with a beautiful cartouche that includes she-wolf feeding Romulus and Remus, their profiles also below by the scale inset, sailing ships, Neptune with trident in one hand and other hand on a mermaid's breast, and a variety of sea monsters.

Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664) was a Dutch cartographer and publisher who lived and worked in Amsterdam in the 17th century. In 1612 he married Elisabeth de Hondt, the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, another famous Dutch cartographer. Janssonius produced his first maps in 1616. In the 1630s he formed a partnership with his brother in law Henricus Hondius, and together they published atlases as Mercator/Hondius/Janssonius. Under the leadership of Janssonius the Hondius Atlas was steadily enlarged. Renamed Atlas Novus, it had three volumes in 1638. These maps are highly decorative and remain among the earliest and most accurate.
