He produced a large number of maps and atlases which rivalled the quality of the Blaeu family. Many of his maps drew heavily on other cartographers and mapmakers. Georg Horn was (1620 - 70) was Professor of Geography and History at Leiden University. He first published 'Accuratissima Orbis Antiqui Delineatio', in which this map appears, in 1652.
