Johannes Janssonius, a renowned cartographer and publisher of the 17th century, created the map titled "New Description of the Ganges Gulf commonly known as the Bay of Bengal." This map would have provided a detailed representation of the Bay of Bengal, including its coastline, islands, major rivers, and other significant geographical features.

Johannes Janssonius (also known as Jan Jansson) was a renowned Dutch cartographer, engraver, and publisher who lived from 1588 to 1664. He was born in Arnhem, Netherlands, and belonged to a family of printers and mapmakers. Janssonius is best known for his contributions to cartography during the 17th century.

Janssonius initially collaborated with his brother-in-law, Jodocus Hondius, a prominent cartographer. After Hondius' death in 1629, Janssonius acquired his printing plates and established himself as an independent cartographer and publisher. He continued to publish and produce maps and atlases under his own name.

Janssonius' works were highly regarded for their accuracy, detailed craftsmanship, and artistic elements. He produced numerous maps of various regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. His maps were often adorned with decorative embellishments such as elaborate cartouches, illustrations, and decorative borders.
