DBLAEU.
County of Molise and Principato Ultra. Amsterdam, around 1640. Copper engraving, colored by contemporary hand (38 x49.6 cm and wide margins). Taken from the Latin edition of the Atlas Novus published in Amsterdam around 1640. Fresh and marginal specimen. (Blavius ??or Guilielmus Caesius or Guilielmus Jansonius). Dutch cartographer (Uitgeest 1571-Amsterdam 1638). Pupil in Prague of the astronomer Tycho Brahe, in 1599 he settled in Amsterdam, where he began the publication of atlases and maps and the construction of globes. In 1633 he was appointed cartographer of the Republic. At his death, the company continued thanks to his two talented sons Cornelius (1616-1648) and Johannes (1596-1673) who expanded their father's ambitious cartographic project. The Atlas Major is the result of the immense work of the Blaeu and is unanimously recognized as one of the highest moments in the history of cartography. The Blaeu's work stopped in 1672 when the great fire in Amsterdam destroyed the workshop and most of the plates. The following year Johannes died and the remaining plates were dispersed and purchased by rivals Frederick De Wit, Schenk, and Valk. The publishing house closed definitively in 1695. [Attributes: Hard Cover].

- 1633 Map Entitled "Beauvaisis Comitatus Belova Cium, Ric.0002Located in Norton, MA1633 map entitled "Beauvaisis Comitatus Belova Cium," Hand Colored Ric.0002 Description: Cartographer : - Hondius, Henricus 1587-1638 Artists and Engravers:Jodocus Hondius, one of the most notable engravers of his time. He is known for his work in association with many of the cartographers and publishers prominent at the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth century. A native of Flanders, he grew up in Ghent, apprenticed as an instrument and globe maker and map engraver. In 1584, to escape the religious troubles sweeping the Low Countries at that time, he fled to London where he spent some years before finally settling in Amsterdam about 1593. In the London period he came into contact with the leading scientists and geographers of the day and engraved maps in The Mariner\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Mirrour, the English edition of Waghenaer\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Sea Atlas, as well as others with Pieter van den Keere, his brother-in-law. No doubt his temporary exile in London stood him in good stead, earning him an international reputation, for it could have been no accident that Speed chose Hondius to engrave the plates for the maps in The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine in the years between 1605 and 1610. In 1604 Hondius bought the plates of Mercator\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Atlas which, in spite of its excellence, had not competed successfully with the continuing demand for the Ortelius Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. To meet this competition Hondius added about 40 maps to Mercator\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s original number and from 1606 published enlarged editions in many languages, still under Mercator\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s name but with his own name as publisher. These atlases have become known as the Mercator/Hondius series. The following year the maps were reengraved in miniature form and issued as a pocket Atlas Minor. After the death of Jodocus Hondius the Elder in 1612, work on the two atlases, folio and miniature, was carried on by his widow and sons, Jodocus II and Henricus, and eventually in conjunction with Jan Jansson in Amsterdam. In all, from 1606 onwards, nearly 50 editions with increasing numbers of maps with texts in the main European languages were printed. Summaries of these issues are given under the entry for Gerard Mercator. Jodocus Hondius the Elder * 1588 Maps in The Mariner\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Mirrour (Waghenaer/Ashley) * 1590 World Map...Category
