[John Seller, sold at his house at the Hermitage in Wapping and in Pope's head Alley in Cornhill, London, 1678
£250

This rare little map, probably taken from an example of Seller's 'Atlas Minimus', began life as a playing card (only one known set), the III of the Europe suit, but was quickly re-engraved to form part of a little pocket atlas, the 'Atlas Minimus' presumably aimed at the education market, perhaps the earliest British cartographic publication so designed.
