About the cartographer
Isaak Tirion (1705-1765) was an 18th century publisher from The Netherlands who produced extensive volumes of Dutch town plans as well as a number of atlases with maps usually based on those of Guillaume de L’Isle, a French cartographer. In his long career, he produced eight atlases in multiple editions, some of which were published posthumously until about 1784.
