1635 Champagne, France

CHAMPAGNE, Willem Jansz. and Joan Blaeu (1635)The map of Champagne was published in 1635 by Willem Jansz. (1571-1638) and Joan Blaeu (1598-1673). Father and son Blaeu copied a map from an atlas from 1619 by Jodocus Hondius II (1595-1629). In doing this they copied an error by Hondius: the coat of arms of Champagne had been mirrored. This error was corrected only much later.
