Description
The first of four states of the map. French text on verso. One of the most beautiful world maps ever engraved and one of the most influential in promulgating the California as an island hypothesis and one of the earliest maps to show the Dutch discoveries in Australia. A corner stone map for any collection of world or Australian maps.
Portraits of Caesar, Ptolemy, Mercator and Jodocus Hondius occupy each corner, with symbols of the four elements, a celestial orb, various native figures, flowers and fruit. One of the earliest world maps (probably the second after Speed) to name Plymouth Colony.
A first state with the date 1630.
Reference: Shirley, World 336, State 1.
Henricus Hondius (1597-1651)
Henricus Hondius, the second son of Jodocus Hondius Sr., was an engraver, cartographer, and publisher in his own right. After coming of age, Henricus Hondius initially worked with his older brother, Jodocus, and brother-in-law, Johannes Janssonius, to carry on his father’s business. The two brothers continued to publish the famed Mercator-Hondius Atlas under the Elder Hondius’ name until 1619, after which point it bore Henricus Hondius’s name solely.After Jodocus’s unexpected death in 1629, Henricus was angered by the sale of his brother’s printing plates to Henricus’s main competitor, Willem Blaeu. In response, he commissioned the engravers, Salomon Rogiers and Evert Hamsersvelt, to copy the sold plates. Upon his mother's death in 1629, Henricus Hondius returned to the paternal home on the Kalverstraat and continued publishing with Johannes Janssonius. For reasons unclear, Hondius left the atlas publishing business in the early 1640s. Henricus Hondius died in 1651, leaving the copper plates and the continued publication of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas to Johannes Janssonius.
Henricus was the son of Jodocus Hondius, who was born in 1563 in Wakken (West Flanders). In 1593, Jodocus established his business in Amsterdam after spending several years in London. He was one of the most important engravers of his time and engraved maps for van den Keere, Waghenaer and Speed. Jodocus Hondius bought Mercator's plates in 1604, added about 40 maps, and published the expanded Mercator-Atlas in 1606, still under Mercator's name.
After he died in 1612 in Amsterdam, his sons Jodocus II and Henricus carried on the business.
