Dutch engraver and mapmaker Henricus Hondius came from a prominent cartographic family. His father, Jodocus Hondius, was also a geographer and engraver. During the period when Henricus worked for his father, he was instrumental in the expansion/republishing of Mercator's atlas, which was initially published in 1595 and later republished by Hondius in 1606. Henricus and his brother, Jodocus the Younger took over their father's business after his death in 1612. A few years later, in 1621, Henricus established his own shop and continued to release new editions of the Mercator Atlas. Years later, he would team up with his brother-in-law, Jan Janssonius, in order to continue to expand and publish Mercator’s atlas. The atlas would then become known as the Mercator-Hondius-Janssonius atlas.
