WIGORNIENSIS Comitatus et Comitatus WARWICENSIS; nec non COVENTRAE, LIBERTAS. WORCESTER, WARWIK SHIRE and THE LIBERTY OF CONVENTRE

In 1645, Joan Blaeu (1598-1673) successfully published an atlas of England. Blaeu based this atlas on the Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine published by his English colleague John Speed (1552-1629) in 1611. Infected by this success, Blaeus neighbour, Jan Janssonius (1588-1664), copied the complete atlas. Janssonius published this pirate issue in 1646. This map of Warwickshire and Worcestershire has been taken from Janssonius atlas.
