Netherlands - Bommelerwaard, Zaltbommel, part of North Brabant, 's-Hertogenbosch; Z. Heyns, naar A. Ortelius - Bommeletweerdia - 1581-1600

Rare and unusual map of the Bommelerwaard with part of North Brabant, by Zacharias Heyns after his edition of Ortelius' 'Epitome,' from Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.
Title in typographic font centered at the top. Shows the area from Gorcum to Kerkdriel and Dongen to Schijndel.
Here is 'Miroir du Monde,' a pocket edition by Zacharias' son Peter Heyns, Amsterdam, 1598, published as a tribute to his father. Instead of the usual copper plates from Ortelius, Peter Heyns used wood engravings. With this, he published one of the rarest small Dutch atlas productions. In 1615, a second edition was released, of which only a single copy is known (Koeman, Koninklijke Bibliotheek).
Good condition, cut at the edge of the print, mounted on sturdy paper measuring 15.3x20.9 cm, lightly colored rivers, verso text (probably) in French.
