JANSSONIUS, Johannes (1588-1664). Theatrum urbium celebriorum totius Belgii sive Germaniae Inferioris . Amsterdam: 1657. Rare and complete two-volume set in fine condition of Janssonius's town books of the Low Countries, all plans and views finely coloured by a contemporary hand. Janssonius' productions were often innovative, and his town books are a case in point, appearing in 8 parts with 500 plates in 1657, at a time when the Blaeus were still planning theirs. Janssonius' achievement was to integrate previously published maps and views - in this case most of Braun and Hogenberg's plates from their Civitates orbis terrarum with their costume figures erased and new cartouches added - and add new plates copied after after the originals by other cartographers. The latter often had new views added at the top. Complete sets in 8 parts are extremely rare; according to ABPC/RBH only 3 incomplete sets have sold at auction in the past 40 years, and only one set of the Low Countries has sold at auction during this time. Van der Krogt IV-1, 42:11.1-2. 2 volumes, folio (487 x 315mm). 113 hand-coloured double-page maps and views, one of Antwerp folding (this latter with creasefolds strengthened to verso, map of Brussels and a number of other slightly creased, short marginal tear without loss to Bergen Op Zoom, tiny marginal tear to Maastricht, leaf Q with 3 town views detached from guard and loose, tiny marginal tear repaired to Franeker, printing flaw due to broken plate affecting bottom right-hand corner with loss of two letters, faint marginal finger-soiling on titles, some browning throughout). Original binding of publisher's vellum, covers gilt-panelled and roll-tooledin gilt enclosing blocked central losenge and floral cornerpieces, yapp binding edges, gilt leaf edges (lacking green silk ties, extremities lightly rubbed).
