AN EARLY DUTCH TERRESTRIAL GLOBE, 1648

A rare early terrestrial globe, only four others in this state recorded, made by one of the great publishing houses of the Dutch Golden Age of Cartography. Jodocus Hondius the elder (1563-1612) first issued a pair of globes in 1597, and throughout the 17th century the globes produced by his family enjoyed great fame: it is a Hondius terrestrial globe that appears in Vermeer's The Geographer. This globe was issued by Hondius's son-in-law Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664), who is often accused of plagiarising some of his cartography from the great rival to Hondius, Willem Blaeu.
