The map "Alsatia Landgraviatus cum Suntgoia et Brisgoia Ger. Mercatore Auctore" was created by the renowned Dutch cartographer Willem Janszoon Blaeu in 1635. 

The map title suggests that it encompasses the region of Alsace, a historical territory in eastern France, along with the areas of Landgraviate, Sundgau, and Breisgau, which are located in present-day Germany. 

Willem Janszoon Blaeu was a significant figure in the history of cartography, known for his exceptional mapmaking skills and the production of high-quality maps during the 17th century.

He founded the Blaeu publishing firm, which became one of the leading cartographic establishments in Europe during the 17th century. Blaeu's work was highly regarded for its accuracy, artistic quality, and attention to detail.

Blaeu's most significant contribution was his production of world maps, atlases, and globes that were widely used and admired. His major works include the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theatre of the World) and the "Atlas Novus" (New Atlas). These works set a new standard in mapmaking and were considered among the finest examples of cartography of their time.

Blaeu's maps were renowned for their decorative elements, including elaborate illustrations, ornate lettering, and vibrant colors. They often featured detailed depictions of geographical regions, historical events, and mythological figures. Blaeu's maps and atlases remain highly collectible and are treasured as valuable historical artifacts.
