Antique Map of Germany c. 1657 Poster
This is a remarkable example of Jan Jansson's 1657 mapping of Germany in antiquity. Depicts a richly forested region covering from Gaul to Dacia and from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea. Cartographically this map exhibits heavy influence from a very similar map of the same name published by A. Ortelius in his 1597 Parergon . Based on Greek and Roman sources including Pliny, Strabo, Virgil, Ceasar, and others. Ships and monsters decorate the seas. A decorative title cartouche depicting curious warlike figures in animal skins appears in the lower right quadrant. A second cartouche appears in the lower left. This remarkable map was published in volume six, the Orbis Antiquus , of Jan Jansson's Novus Atlas . This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it.
I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
