In 1630 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Blaeu" class="extiw" title="en:Willem Blaeu">Willem Jansz. Blaeu</a> (1571-1638) successfully published his first atlas, the Atlantis Appendix. In order to profit from this success his neighbour, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Janssonius" class="extiw" title="en:Jan Janssonius">Jan Janssonius</a> (1588-1664) commissioned the engravers Evert Symonsz. Hamersveldt and Salomon Rogiers in the same year to copy Blaeus complete atlas. This map of the Principality Orange is such a copy. Blaeus original map was made after a drawing by Jacobus de Chieze.
