Jodocus Hondius, a renowned Dutch cartographer and engraver, left an indelible mark on the world of mapmaking and portraiture. His masterpiece, the Carte Universelle (World Map) created in 1624 with ink and watercolor on vellum, showcased his exceptional talent for capturing the intricacies of geographical features. In addition to his cartographic prowess, Hondius also excelled in portraiture. One notable example is his copper-engraving Portrait of Sir Francis Drake. This depiction immortalized the legendary English explorer who circumnavigated the globe. Hondius's artistic skills extended beyond individual portraits as well. The Double Portrait of Gerardus Mercator and Jodocus Hondius demonstrated both his technical expertise and personal connection to fellow cartographers. Painted by Coletta van der Keer during the early 17th century, this piece symbolizes their shared passion for mapping. Even after his passing, Hondius's legacy continued through various mediums such as cigarette cards featuring Sir Francis Drake from 1935. These collectibles served as miniature tributes to historical figures like Drake. Not limited to maps and portraits alone, Hondius also dabbled in calligraphy. Examples include works like Writing example Honnestete bien que ne soit en bruict Le or Quelque homme reprocha Theatrum artis scribendi - showcasing his mastery over different writing styles including Hebrew alphabet. Hondius's influence can be seen not only through his own creations but also through collaborations with other artists like Thomas Talbot whose work he engraved into Talbots Rose. One cannot overlook A New Land and Water Map of the Entire Earth from 1630 which displayed Hondius's ability to create vividly colored engravings that brought geography to life. Lastly, another portrait worth mentioning is that of Thomas Cavendish painted by Jodocus Hondius I around 1595-1597.
