In the 1630s, Henricus Hondius went into business with Johannes
Janssonius, who had married his sister, but at some point in their history,
Hondius and Janssonius seem to have split, as the maps produced during
the 1640s and onwards tend to bear only one of their names. One of the
maps that demonstrates this phenomenon is a depiction of the Holy Land,
drawn after Christian van Adrichom. For a full description of Adrichom's
hugely influential map of 1590, please see item 607.

While the cartographical information has been retained unaltered,
Hondius added several decorative features, including floral bunting beneath
the title, a banner held by two putti proclaiming that "Your Lord God leads
you into the good land..." (trans.), and the two figures of Moses and Aaron
in the lower left-hand corner.
