Description: Around 1584, Pieter van den Keere fled religious persecution in Ghent (now Belgium) and settled in London. His sister, Colette van den Keere ( #113), also relocated to London, where she married Jodocus Hondius ( #18, #80, #82, #114, #123, #126, #253 and #272) in 1587. While in London, Pieter trained as an engraver under his brother-in-law, Hondius. In 1593, both van den Keere and Hondius left London and settled in Amsterdam, where they continued their cartographic and engraving work.nThis double hemisphere world map was engraved by the Josua van den Ende and published by van den Keere in 1604. It was based on Petrus Plancius's world map published a decade earlier ( #71), with some differences in detail, notably the reversal of the positioning of the corner scenes. This version is the second state of the map, with the date updated to 1607.
