EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Double Portrait of Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594) and Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612)" created by Coletta Hondius Keer van der, an artist active in the early 17th century. The portrait, found in the esteemed collection of the Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg, beautifully captures these two influential figures from Flanders.
