Old County Map of Norfolk 1648 by Johan Blaeu from the Atlas Novus
This detailed and most attractive reproduction map of Norfolk has been carefully art worked from a scan of an antique original. The famous firm of Dutch cartographers and publishers was established in the late 16th century by Willem Janszoon Blaeu in Amsterdam.

From this small beginning was to emerge one of the largest and most prolific map publishing houses of the seventeenth century
