Artists and Engravers: Gerard Mercator (Kremer) was born in Rupelmonde in Flanders and studied in Louvain. He drawn his first map in 1537 and became a cartographer and globe maker.

Later he decided to publish a new edition of Ptolemy's Geographia. Followed by his major work, a 3 volume collection of maps to which the word "Atlas" was applied the first time. The first volume was published 1585, followed by the second in 1589 and the third one after his death in 1595 by his son Rumold. A second edition of all three parts was published 1602. 1604 Jodocus Hondius acquired the plates and published several edition together with his sons Jodocus II and Henricus until 1633. More editions followed until 1666 by Janssonius who was in partnership with Henricus. Some of the plated where also used in W.J. Blaeu in 1630.

Gerard Mercator
Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) was one of the most famous cartographers of the 16th century and, in fact, of all time. Mercator was known for his strict adherence to scientific methods of the day. He was responsible for advancing the technology of map making. For example his method of representing land masses in a cylindrical projection with north up and south down, first described in 1569, became the standard map projection for navigation. It is still referred to as The Mercator projection.
