Greek Island Atlas Postcard

Atlas Van der Hagen is a so-called composite atlas.  This panorama of Kerkira (Kerkira is a Greek name for Corfu. The name Kerkira is only used in Greece. The rest of the world knows the island as Corfu. Which is the northernmost of the main Ionian Islands, an island chain off the west coast of mainland Greece in the Ionian Sea. It's one of the most popular of the Ionian Islands.)was almost certainly published in Amsterdam; its maker is unknown. The map does not appear in any Dutch atlas's. Recent research regards the Amsterdam merchant and map collector Dirk van der Hagen as its compositor. Van der Hagen had brought together a considerable collection of drawings and prints and it seems that he chose the most beautiful ones to be coloured by hand by the famous artist Dirk Jansz van Santen.
