Johannes Jansson Art

Dutch, 1729-1784
Jan Jansson or Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664) was born in Arnhem, Holland. His father was a printer and bookseller. In 1612 he married a Hondius daughter and became part of the prominent cartographic and publishing family business. He published his first map on his own in 1616. He partnered with his brother-in-law, the famous cartographer Henricus Hondius. They published their Atlas Major in eleven volumes. He also worked on newer editions of earlier Mercator/Hondius atlases. He published Jansson's English Country Maps in 1646. His brother-in-law continued the business following Jansson's death in 1664. Abraham Goos (1590-1643) was a Dutch engraver of maps, sea charts, and globes, based initially in Antwerp and later in Amsterdam. The majority of his work was on maps created by Joannes Jansson, Jocodus Hondius, and John Speed.
