BLAEU, Guillaume & Jean. Regiones sub polo arctico. A black copperplate engraving, 41 x 52.2 cm (inside the frame), 46.7 x 58 cm (on the sheet), hand-colored (tiny tears in the margins). A fine copy. A decorative map of the Arctic Pole by Joan Blaeu, based on his father’s map, Willem Blaeu. It features two illustrated cartouches, bearing the title and the scales, respectively. It also features a dedication to Guilielmus Backer de Corneliis, which distinguishes this second state of the map. The map appeared between 1624 and 1672 in the Dutch, French, Latin, German, and Spanish editions of Joan Blaeu’s atlases. This copy was published in the 1663 French edition of the atlas *Géographie*, the first part of the *Blavian Cosmography*. Van der Krogt, II, [0020:2.2].
