Keere, Pieter van den [Kaerius, Petrus]
1571-c. 1646.
Pieter van den Keere was one of a number of refugees who fled from religious persecution in the Low Countries between the years 1570 and 1 590. He moved to London in 1584 with his sister who married Jodocus Hondius, also a refugee there, and through Hondius he undoubtedly learned his skills as an engraver and cartographer. In the course of a long working life he engraved a large number of individual maps for prominent cartographers of the day but he also produced an Atlas of the Netherlands (1617-22) and county maps of the British Isles which have become known as Miniature Speeds, a misnomer which calls for some explanation.
In about 1599 he engraved plates for 44 maps of the English and Welsh counties, the regions of Scotland and the Irish provinces. The English maps were based on Saxton, the Scottish on Ortelius and the Irish on the famous map by Boazio. These maps were not published at once in book form but there is evidence which suggests a date of issue (in Amsterdam) between 1605 and 1610 although at...

Tysk kartograf, son till en guldsmed. Hans föräldrar ville att han skulle bli ölbryggare men han såg till att bli lärling i kartgravering hos J.B. Homann i Nürnberg 1697. Efter lärlingstiden återvände Seutter till sin hemstad Augsburg och började arbeta hos Jeremias Wolff på dennes förlag. Från och med år 1707 arbetade han självständigt som kartgravör i Augsburg. 1710 började han ge ut kartor under eget namn och 1728 var han en namnkunnig kartograf. 1730/1732 fick han titeln 'Kaiserlicher Geograph', kejserlig geograf. Totalt skapade Seutter och hans medhjälpare uppemot 400-500 landskartor, stadsplaner och översikter, genealogiska och kronologiska tabeller m.m.. Av atlasverk kom 'Atlas geographicus' 1725 med 46 kartor, 'Atlas novus indicibus instructus' kom ca. 1730 i Augsburg och Wien. En utökad utgåva av den senare med 131 kartor kom 1734/1735 och slutligen utkom ca. 1744 en 'Atlas minor' med 64 kartor i ett mindre format. I atlasen från 1734/1735 delade Seutter upp kartorna i rutor och lät utarbeta stadsreg...

Porträtt på Gerard Mercator och Jodocus Hondius.
"Striking image showing Mercator and Hondius in their idealized workshop.
This famous portrait of two of the most important mapmakers during the Golden Age of Dutch cartography was engraved by Coletta Hondius, as a tribute to her late husband, shortly after his death. Gerard Mercator is shown with his successor, Jodocus Hondius, seated at a table surrounded by the implements of their trade. The fine portrait is set within an elaborate strapwork framework that includes a wall map of Europe.
Gerard Mercator is renowned as the cartographer who created a world map representing new projections of sailing courses of constant bearing as straight lines—an innovation which, to this day, enhances the simplicity and safety of navigation. In his own day, Mercator was the world's most famous geographer. He created a number of wall maps early in his career, as well as one of the earliest modern world Atlases in 1595. Although this was the first appearance of the word Atlas in a geographical context, Mercator used it as a neologism for a treatise on the creation, history and description of the universe, not simply a collection of maps. He chose the word as a commemoration of King Atlas of Mauretania, whom he considered to be the first great geographer.
Jodocus Hondius was a Dutch engraver and cartographer. He is best known for his early maps of the New World and Europe and for continuing publication of Gerard Mercator's World Atlas. He also helped establish Amsterdam as the center of cartography in Europe in the 17th century. In England, Hondius publicized the work of Francis Drake, who had made a circumnavigation of the world in the late 1570s. In 1604, he purchased the plates of Gerard Mercator's Atlas from Mercator's grandson and continued publication of the Atlas, adding his own maps over the next several decades. Hondius later published a pocket version Atlas Minor."
