Holländsk kartograf, son till Jodocus Hondius. Från 1643 övertog han utgivningen av Mercator-Hondius-atlasen. Förutom talrika utgåvor av denna, som han efter hand reviderade ganska grundligt, gav han 1627 ut en kopia av sin fars världskarta, och 1629 en karta över Brabant. 1636 kom hans svåger Joannes Janssonius (se denne) med i kartarbetet.

A late eighteenth and early nineteenth century French (Canadian) artist, writer and diplomat, Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur left Montreal in 1764 and began his studies with the Jesuits of Sainte-Barbe, in Paris. His first published book, Costumes civils de tous les peoples connus, dates from 1784. It deals with his lifelong passion of chronicling the peoples of other lands, particularly in remote areas. His other works include, Tableaux cosmographiques de l'Europe, l'Asie, l'Afrique et l'Amerique (1787), L'Antique Rome (1795), Encyclopedie des voyages (1796), and Voyage picturesque dans les autres parties du monde (1806). Groenlandais (Native of Greenland) was engraved by Labrousse for the c. 1797 publication, Costumes de different pays. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur both designed the engravings and wrote the text for all of these publications. Besides being an artist and writer Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur also led an active diplomatic career. He served as France's vice-consul in Hungary and elsewhere. Today the art of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur may be found in the following collections; the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the National Library of Australia, Auckland Art Gallery, New Zealand, and the New York Public Library.
