Johannes Janssonius, better known as Jan Jansson, was born in Arnhem, where his father was a bookseller and publisher (Jan Janszoon the Elder). In 1612 he married the daughter of the cartographer and publisher Jodocus Hondius, then settled in Amsterdam as a book publisher. In 1616, he published his first maps of France and Italy and from that moment produced a very large number of maps, completely comparable to those of the Blaeu family, because they were very similar in quantity and quality. From about 1630 to 1638 he associated with his brother-in-law, Henricus Hondius, and published new editions of the Mercator/Hondius atlases with which he was associated. When Henricus died he took over the business, further expanding map publishing until he eventually published an 11-volume Atlas Major on a scale similar to Blaeu's Atlas Major. In general, Jansson's maps closely resemble Blaeu's and, in fact, were often copied from them, but they tend to be more flamboyant and, according to some, more decorative.
