Gerardus Mercator . . . [and] . . . Iudocus 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.

This fine portrait is set within an elaborate framework that includes a wall map of Europe.
