1662 Bay of Biscay, Spain

BISCAIA, | ALAVA, | et | GVIPVSCOA | CANTABRIAE | VETERIS | PARTES, Joan Blaeu (1662)The map of the Bay of Biscay was published in 1662 in the Atlas Maior by Joan Blaeu (1598-1673). Although Blaeu tried to include in his world atlas as much new maps as possible, that is certainly not the case with this map. This map is a precise copy of a map published in 1638 by Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664).
