Jan Jansson (1588–1664), commonly cataloged as Johannes or Jan Janssonius, was a Dutch cartographer, printer, and publisher who lived and worked in seventeenth-century Amsterdam. Library and authority records preserve numerous Latinized and translated forms of his name, an important detail when matching maps, atlas pages, title pages, and bibliographic entries. Collectors encounter Jansson principally through historical cartographic material rather than through the categories associated with a modern easel artist. His name may appear in publication imprints and catalog records in several forms, including Ioannes or Joannes Ianssonius. The collected biographical source also connects his activity with the Amsterdam publishing enterprise associated with his father-in-law, Jodocus Hondius. Because cataloging conventions vary, identifying a work requires attention to the full name, imprint, format, and publication context. This page treats Jan Jansson as the historical cartographer-publisher represented by the cited authority records.

Cartography and printed map publishingAtlas publishing

Common works and media

Auction and appraisal records associated with Jan Jansson are most likely to concern printed cartographic material, including individual maps, atlas pages, title pages, and complete or partial atlases. Catalog entries may use Jan Jansson, Jan Janssonius, Johannes Janssonius, or Latinized spellings such as Ioannes and Joannes Ianssonius. Matching the wording of the imprint and the publication context is therefore important.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal begins by confirming that an object belongs with the seventeenth-century Dutch cartographer-publisher rather than another person with a similar name. Useful comparisons should distinguish individual maps and atlas components from title pages or bound atlases, while matching the relevant imprint, name variant, publication context, and date as closely as the available record permits. Public auction results can provide context when comparable lots are available, but a realized price for one format should not automatically be applied to another. The collected pack does not include enough major-auction-house evidence to support a price trend, scarcity statement, or forecast, so any valuation should be based on verified object-level information and closely matched public sales.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Printed maps and other cartographic works
  • Atlases and atlas-related material

Value drivers

  1. Correct identification across historical and Latinized name variants
  2. Whether the object is an individual cartographic sheet, atlas component, title page, or bound atlas
  3. Publication context and date when selecting comparable public auction records

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack contains an Appraisily auction-record signal but no fetched major-auction-house description or individual comparable-sale details.
  • Historical spelling variants and the participation of other mapmakers or publishers can complicate attribution; the complete imprint and publication context should be reviewed.
  • No price trend, scarcity claim, or price prediction is supported by the collected sources.
