Henricus Hondius and Jan Jansson were prominent Dutch cartographers of the 17th century, known for their contributions to the field of mapmaking during the Dutch Golden Age. One of their notable collaborations was the creation of the map titled "India quae Orientalis dicitur et Insulae Adiacentes," which translates to "India, commonly known as the East, and the adjacent islands" in Latin.

Produced during a time when the Dutch Republic was a leading maritime and commercial power, this map provided a detailed representation of the Indian subcontinent and the surrounding islands. The cartographers painstakingly compiled information from various sources, including the accounts of explorers and travelers, to create an accurate depiction of this vital region.

The map featured intricate details, including topographical features, coastlines, rivers, and important settlements. It also included ornate illustrations and decorative elements, reflecting the artistic flair of the Dutch cartographic tradition. These maps served not only as navigational aids for sailors but also as works of art, treasured for their aesthetic value.

Hondius and Jansson's collaboration exemplified the high standards of cartography in their era, contributing to a greater understanding of the world's geography during the Age of Exploration. Their maps, including "India quae Orientalis dicitur et Insulae Adiacentes," remain valuable historical artifacts, offering insights into the knowledge and perception of the Indian subcontinent and adjacent regions during the 17th century.

Henricus Hondius, also known as Henricus Hondius the Younger, was a Dutch cartographer and engraver who lived from 1597 to 1651. He was the son of Jodocus Hondius, another renowned Dutch cartographer, and was born in Amsterdam. Henricus Hondius is best known for his work in mapmaking and cartography during the Dutch Golden Age, a period of great economic, political, and cultural prosperity in the Netherlands.

Henricus Hondius continued and expanded upon his father's cartographic work, producing and publishing numerous maps and atlases. He collaborated with other notable cartographers and publishers of his time, including Jan Jansson, as mentioned earlier. Together, they created maps and atlases that were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic quality.
