After the death of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Blaeu" class="extiw" title="en:Willem Blaeu">Willem Jansz. Blaeu</a> (c.1571-1638) the publishing house was for some time continued by both his sons <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Blaeu" class="extiw" title="en:Joan Blaeu">Joan Blaeu</a> (1598-1673) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Blaeu" class="extiw" title="en:Cornelius Blaeu">Cornelius Blaeu</a> (c. 1610-1642). This map about the Swedish duchy of Uppland stems from that period. For this map, the brothers used manuscript maps acquired from the Swedish cartographer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Bureus" class="extiw" title="en:Anders Bureus">Anders Bureus</a> (1571-1661). The map is dedicated to Jacob de la Gardie, supreme judge in Uppland.
