Map of Schonen, the sourthernmost tip of Sweeden, engraved by Jan Jansson. His heir and son-in-law, Jan Jansson �� Waesberg, partnered up with the English publishers, Pitt and Swart, to produce an twelve-volume 'English Atlas' to compete with Blaeu's Atlas Major. This plate was updated for that publication, with a new dedication to Othon Kragh. Between 1680 and 1683 four volumes of the atlas and the text for the fifth were printed in Oxford, but the mounting costs were too much. Production ceased, and for a time Pitt was locked up in the Fleet Prison for debt.
