In 1630 he became partner of his father. After his father's death in 1638, Johan
continued the firm. He also worked for the V.O.C. In 1637 he moved to the
"Bloemgracht, bij de derde dwarsstraet, naest de Cleerbesem" and took
his brother Cornelis in the firm. In 1651 Johannes became member of the
"Raad van Schepenen" of the city of Amsterdam. He was the very first
printer who got this improtant job. Between 1650 and 1672 Johannes Blaue was
the best and most important printer of Europe. In 1662 he published the
"Atlas Major". In 1667 they moved to de "Gravenstraat, achter de
Nieuwekerk". On the 23th Februay in 1672 in the morning about 03.30 h., a
big fire destroyed everything. The loss of the building, the machines, paper
and letters, etc. was in that time 382.000 Dutch guilders. One year later Johan
Blaeu died, s as a broken man. The slowly down went te firm. In 1712 the firm
was liquidated. After the fire many copperplates came in posession of Frederick
de Wit. The Blaeu family was more important as mapprinters than as publishers
of etchings. (See also Willem JANSZ).

Alkmaar 1571-Amsterdam 1638. Studied astronomy in Denmark, returned to

him 7 children, on wich (the eldest) Johannes and Cornelis, who became partners
in the firm. Willem Blaue sold globes, sea-maps and he was the official
hydographer and cartographer of the V.O.C. In 1630 Willem published his first
land-atlas, the "Appendix Theatri A. Ortellii et Atlantis G.
Mercatoris". The maps of the Appendix were made after copperplates, bought
by Willem from the inheritance of Jodocus Hondius jr. So there was a
competitive struggle between Blaeu and the Hondius-family.
Willem's
sons, Johan (1596-673) and Cornelis (1610-1648), became partners
in the firm.

Jansz. (JANSSEN): 'Plaet of

Published early work of Moyses van Wtenbroeck. See
Holl. vol LIV page 86. "Broer Jansz. originally worked as an engraver and
printer, and early 1586- one year after The Hague was defenitely
re-instated as governmental seat- he is mentioned as such in the city.
Autograpf prints have yet to be traced, and Jansz. seems to have primarily
profiled himself as an 'art-dealer'. He had been keeping a stand at the
Binnenhof for some time, where his wife dealt in 'various arts' (verscheydenen
konsten), when he submitted an official request for a license in 1608. Until
1614, he was allowed to manage a stand alongside other print and art dealers,
including Balthasar van Berckenrode and
Pieter de Pruyster in the so-called
"White Gallery", in front of the court chapel at the Binnenhof. On 18
October of the same year, 1614, Jansz. registered at the guild as a book and
art dealer and dismantled his stand at the Binnenhof in order to begin a new
shop elsewhere in the city. It was probably a second outlet, for in 1628/29 he
still referred to as a bookseller at the Binnenhof.
Broer Jansz. will have carried on business in the
area of the graphic arts, both books and prints, and in addition seems to have
developed printing and publishing activities. Various prints and print series
bearing his address are known.
