Hondius family: flourished 16th–17th century as engravers, globe-makers, and publishers.
After the death of Hondius Jodocus the Elder in 1612, the business was continued by his widow, and by his sons Henricus (1597–1651) and Jodocus the Younger (1594–1629), and by his son-in-law Johannes Janssonius II. Jodocus the Younger started his own business by 1621 (as did his brother Henricus) and, after his death, 36 map plates were sold which formed the nucleus of the Blaeu atlas series.
