  1654 (undated)         1 : 70000 Description This is a classic 17th-century map Dutch of Bermuda, printed by Jan Jansson in 1654 and here in an original color example from the collection of the illustrious map collector, dealer, and scholar Kenneth Nebenzahl. Actually engraved by Jansson s brother-in-law Henricus Hondius, this map was based on Richard Norwood’s chart produced in 1618 for the Bermuda Company. Norwood s chart provides the primary depiction of the island available for that century. Versions of this map were printed by John Speed as well as Hondius and Jansson s competitor, Willem Blaeu. Two Maps in OneIn a brilliant moment of inspired design, Hondius superimposed two maps, at different scales, on one another. The most prominent map is a detail of Bermuda. The other a more expansive map intended to illustrate Bermuda s location relative to known landmasses.
