Born in Arnhem, Jan was first exposed to the trade via his father, who was also a bookseller and published. In 1612, Jan married the daighter of Jodocus Hondius, who was also a prominent mapmaker and seller. Janssons first maps date from 1616. In the 1930s, Jansson worked with his brother-in-law, Henricus Hondius. Their most success venture was to reissue the Mercator-Hondius atlas. Jodocus Hondius had acquired the plates to the Mercator atlas, first published in 1595, and added 36 additional maps. After Hondius died in 1612, Henricus took over publication; Jansson joined the venture in 1633. Eventually, the atlas was renamed theAtlas Novusand thenAtlas Major, by which time it had expanded to eleven volumes. Jansson is also well known for his volume of English country maps published in 1646. Jansson died in Amsterdan in 1664. His son-in-law, Johannes van Waesbergen, took over his business. Eventually, many of Janssons plates were sold to Gerard Valck and Pieter Schend, who added their names and continued to reissue the maps.
