Hondius, Jodocus the Younger
Jodocus Hondius II (1594 – 1629) was a Dutch engraver, cartographer and publisher. The elder son of the cartographer Jodocus Hondius, Jodocus took over the business after father died in 1612, co-running the business with his brother Henricus II. He was an accomplished engraver, to the extent that upon his death Willem Blaeu would purchase thirty-four of Hondius' plates to be included in his new atlases.

This is a beautiful Nicolas Picart edition of the Hondius carte-á-figures map of Asia. It was composed by Jodocus Hondius as early as 1623 and first appeared in the 1630 Hondius atlas. In this case, the map is an entirely new plate engraved in Paris in 1644 by Nicolas Picart. These French editions are beautiful and desirable rarities. (more details)
