Keere, Pieter van den [Kaerius, Petrus]
1571-c. 1646.
Pieter van den Keere was one of a number of refugees who fled from religious persecution in the Low Countries between the years 1570 and 1 590. He moved to London in 1584 with his sister who married Jodocus Hondius, also a refugee there, and through Hondius he undoubtedly learned his skills as an engraver and cartographer. In the course of a long working life he engraved a large number of individual maps for prominent cartographers of the day but he also produced an Atlas of the Netherlands (1617-22) and county maps of the British Isles which have become known as Miniature Speeds, a misnomer which calls for some explanation.

WAESBERGHE, JOANNES JANSSONIUS VAN.
Död ca. 1680.
Holländsk bokhandlare. Han var från början boktryckare i Rotterdam, men kom till Amsterdam och gifte sig med en dotter till Joannes Janssonius (se denne). Efter svärfaderns död fortsatte han tillsammans med de övriga arvingarna dennes firma. Enligt signaturen på flera av kartorna samarbetade han en tid med engelsmannen Moses Pitt (se denne) mer om detta har inga ytterligare uppgifter hittats. Efter Waesberghes död verkar det som en del av kartorna övertagits av andra förläggare, däribland Peter Schenk (se denne) och Gerard Valk (se denne). Verksamheten drevs vidare som ett familjeföretag, åtminstone ett antal år in på 1700-talet.
