[Morocco]. JANSSON, Joan. - Lot 215
[Morocco]. JANSSON, Joan. Fezzae et Marocchi regna Africae celeberrima (Amsterdam, 1647). A copperplate engraving (44 x 55.8 cm), hand-colored (slightly creased, uniformly browned). Decorative map of the Kingdom of Fez and Morocco by Joan Jansson, based on a map by Ortelius published in the 16th century. It depicts this region during a period of historical transition, marked by the decline of the Saadians and the unification of the country. It reflects the geographical knowledge of the time and shows the cities of Marrakesh, Fez, Taroudant, Tangier, and Rabat. This map appeared in 1647 in the third volume of the French edition of Jansson’s *Atlas Novus*, published in 1646 and 1649. Van der Krogt, I, [8615:1B].
