Handsome lions with man faces grace the giant title cartouche. Unusual collaboration between Hondius and Tavernier. Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) was the founder of a prolific map publishing business, which helped to propel the Dutch to lead innovations in cartography. When Jodocus the elder died in 1612, his wife Colette ran the business until their sons came of age to join the firm. During this time, their daughter Elisabeth married Johannes Jansson and the two of them helped Colette run the business. Jodocus & Colette's youngest son, Henricus Hondius (1597-1651) later ran the business along with his extended family. Joannes Tardo (1561-1636), was the Canon of Sarlat, a mathematician and map editor. Melchior Tavernier (1564-1641), was an engraver and map seller in Paris.<br/> <br/>
