In 1628 Jan Jansson published his own version of the Mercator-Hondius atlas in a smaller format and entitled it the ‘Atlas Minor’. There were no English county maps in the work, only five regional ones derived from Mercator and one of four British Islands. For the 1648 German edition the atlas was updated with an additional 36 new maps. Amongst these were eight maps of individual English counties. They are all the work of Pieter van den Keere who died c.1646 before they were published. It is curious that only these counties were issued as by then the full set had been published by Jansson in his folio atlas of 1646. Koeman II ME 203; Van der Krogt, P. (1967-70) 5300:352.1; Phillips (1909-) 5940.
