FER, NICOLAS de.

1646-1720.
Fransk kopparstickare och geograf. Var en av de mest beresta av den tidens geografer. Vid sin död var han kunglig geograf. Som kartograf var han mycket produktiv. Noggrannheten var inte alltid den bästa men hans kartor var ofta elegant utstyrda. Bland hans främsta verk kan nämnas 'La France triomphante sous le rčgne de Louis le Grand' (1693), en karta i 6 blad, prydd med över 200 kartuscher som visar kungaporträtt, medaljer, monument etc., 'Les Cķtes de France' (1695) och 'La France divisée par généralités' (1718). Dessutom finns en mängd specialkartor över franska provinser, vägar, vattendrag m.m.. Han gav också ut en 'Introduction ā la Géographie', som kom i flera utgåvor.

GRIPENHIELM, CARL.

1655-1694.
Direktör för lantmäteriet, tog initiativet till den första svenska Generalkartan.

At the age of 28, appointed director (later director-general) for the National Land Survey. Offices were a room at the royal palace, 'but in autumn, winter and spring, maps never could be stored there because of the moisture, snow and rain that drift in through the leaky walls'. Wrote poetry with same success - 200 years later the works were deemed 'currently unpalatable'. In the early 1690s worked on Stockholm's Outer archipelago, until then poorly represented on charts. For security reasons, the lise of maps was restricted. His maps first round real use a hundred years later as underpinning for Sweden's Marine Atlas (Sveriges Sjöatlas).
Bland arbeten.
Sveriges Sjöatlas.


Sveriges sjökartor – A. Hedin.



Stockholm - Mentzer ca 1860.

Goos, Abraham.

Biografiska uppgifter:fl. 1614-43
Abraham Goos was a noted engraver in Amsterdam who prepared plates for many maps published in well-known atlases of his time including Speed's A Prospect ofthe Most Famous Parts of the World (1627) and the 1632 edition of Speed's Atlas. He was related to the Hondius family by whom he was also employed as an engraver. In 1616 he issued a book of maps, the Nieuw Nederlandtsh Caertboeck (4to) which was re-issued in 1619 and 1625.

His son, Pieter, continued and extended his father's business and became one of the group of well-known engravers of sea charts active in Amsterdam in the middle years of the seventeenth century. In common with Colom, Doncker and Jacobsz he published a pilot guide, the Zee-Spiegel, basing it on plates obtained from Jacobsz. This went through many editions in different languages under the startling titles so popular at the time. In addition to publishing his Zee-Spiegel in the usual Parts 1 and II (Europe and Atlantic coasts) and Part III (Mediterranean) he broke new ground in preparing Parts IV and V, covering charts and sailing directions for the coasts of the West Indies and West Africa. The later editions of the Zee Atlas were published by his widow who eventually sold the publishing rights of the Atlas and of the Zee-Spiegel to Jacobus Robijn.
