Henricus Hondius (1597-1651) was a Dutch engraver, cartographer, and publisher who lived during the 17th century. He was born in Amsterdam, the son of the famous cartographer Jodocus Hondius. Henricus Hondius is best known for his work as a mapmaker and publisher of atlases.

One of Hondius' notable works is the "Nova totius terrarum orbis geographica ac hydrographia tabula," which translates to "New geographical and hydrographic map of the whole world." This map was first published in 1630 and is an example of a world map from the 17th century.

The "Nova totius terrarum orbis geographica ac hydrographia tabula" reflects the knowledge and understanding of the world at the time. It includes geographical features, such as continents, countries, oceans, and major cities, as known during the early 17th century. The map also incorporates elements of hydrography, showing important water bodies and maritime routes.

Hondius' map was based on the work of earlier cartographers, including his father, Jodocus Hondius, as well as Gerardus Mercator. It followed the tradition of the Mercator projection, which aimed to depict the spherical Earth on a flat surface, preserving accurate shapes and angles of landmasses.

During the 17th century, cartography was a highly sought-after skill, as maps were essential tools for navigation, exploration, and trade. Henricus Hondius and his family played a significant role in the development and dissemination of accurate maps, contributing to the advancement of geographical knowledge during that period.
