"Novus Planiglobii Terrestris per Utrumque Polum Conspectus" was created by Johannes Blaeu, a renowned Dutch cartographer of the 17th century.

The "Novus Planiglobii Terrestris per Utrumque Polum Conspectus" is a map that represents a dual-hemisphere view of the Earth, with both the northern and southern polar regions visible. It was first published by Johannes Blaeu in 1635 as part of his atlas titled "Atlas Maior" or "The Great Atlas."

This map is notable for its detailed and artistic depiction of geographical features, including continents, oceans, and various regions of the world. The two hemispheres are separated by a central meridian, and the poles are prominently displayed.

It's important to note that the map by Johannes Blaeu is a historical representation and may not reflect our modern understanding of the Earth's geography with complete accuracy. 

Johannes Blaeu (1596-1673) was a prominent Dutch cartographer, publisher, and globemaker of the 17th century. He was born in Alkmaar, Netherlands, and came from a family of cartographers. Johannes Blaeu's father, Willem Blaeu, was also a renowned cartographer.

Johannes Blaeu and his father established the Blaeu publishing firm, which produced high-quality maps, atlases, and globes. They were known for their meticulous attention to detail and accuracy in cartographic representations. Johannes Blaeu took over the family business after his father's death in 1638 and continued to expand and improve their cartographic productions.

One of Johannes Blaeu's most notable works is the "Atlas Maior" or "The Great Atlas," which was first published in 1662. This atlas was a monumental achievement, containing a vast collection of maps covering various regions of the world. The maps in the Atlas Maior were highly detailed, beautifully designed, and considered some of the finest cartographic works of their time.

In addition to his atlases, Johannes Blaeu was also known for his globes, including the famous "Nova et Accuratissima Terrarum Orbis Tabula," a terrestrial globe created in 1648. Blaeu's globes were renowned for their craftsmanship and accuracy.

Johannes Blaeu's contributions to cartography significantly advanced the field during the 17th century. His maps and atlases remain highly regarded for their aesthetic appeal and historical value. Today, Blaeu's works are sought after by collectors and scholars alike for their significance in the history of cartography.
