Dedicated to his friend Charles F. Lummis, noted Los Angeles industrialist, Mora's map of Los Angeles is one of his most "painterly" cartes, with strong colors and shapes spread throughout the map. The map shows early Los Angeles, with the first movie studios and road network. Two versions of the map were printed, one without a title (this copy) and another with the title (see our 8540.000) For more information on Jo Mora's life and works, see http://www.jomoratrust.com 77 58 1942 77 10003.000 1 Map of Los Angeles Historical and Recreational.

This map is considered one of the finest map engravings of the 17th century (Van de Heijden) and it celebrates the Twelve Years' Truce (1609-1621) between Spain and the Netherlands. There are many references and symbols of the peace in the map - as such, it is one of the earliest propaganda maps. The theme of the low countries (Belgium and the Netherlands today) as a lion appears on several maps of the period and this sitting lion is considered one of the finest examples. The date is estimated, but sometime between 1611 and 1621. 48 58 1611 48 10002.000 Novissima, et Accuratissima Leonis Belgici, Seu Septemdecim Regionum Descriptio.
