JANSSONIUS, J. - Nova Franconiae Descriptio.

In 1626 Abraham Goos engraved a single-sheet map of Franconia with decorative borders for Joannes Janssonius. In the center part of the top border is the map title flanked by the views of Nurenbergh and Wurtsburgh. The map has coats of arms and costumed figures in the side borders. Lower border contains views of Bamberg, Fulda, Rotenburgh and Budingen.
The geographical content is based on Gerard Mercator's map of Franconia.
