PEETERS, Jacob
Flaman asıllı gravürcü ve kitapçı Jacob Peeters (1637-1695) bir sanatçı aileden gelmekteydi. Antwerp (Anvers) kentinde olan kitapçı dükkânı hakkında kitabında şunları yazmakta: "...her çeşit baskı ve gravür, mürekkeple çizilmiş yada renkli küçük ve büyük boy haritalar, duvar haritaları satılmaktadır". Peeters özellikle 1692 yılında yayınlamış olduğu "Dünya Atlas"ı ile tanınmıştır.
Burada sözkonusu olan albüm Venediklilerin Osmanlılara karşı kazandıkları büyük zaferleri öven kutlayıcı yayınlardan biridir. Buna benzer başka yayınlar V.M. Coronelli'nin kurmuş olduğu Argonotlar Coğrafya Akademisi tarafından gerçekleştirilmişti.
Bu baskıdaki tablolar Jacob Peeters'in kardeşi Johannes yada Jan Peeters'in (1625-1677) çizimlerine dayanmaktadır. Johannes Peeters'in çizmiş olduğu birçok kent görünümü Merian tarafından taşa nakşedilmişti. Johannes, deniz manzarası resminde uzman ve tanınmış bir ressam ve gravürcü olan büyük kardeşleri Bonaventura Peeters'in öğrencisiydi.
Gravürlerin çoğu tanınmış bir kitap tüccarı ve gravür öğretmeni olan Gaspar Bouttats (1640-1695) tarafından nakşedilmişti. Kitabın başında, görüntülenen her şehrin ve konunun betimlemesi yapılmış, ancak tablo sayısı her kitapta aynı değildir. Tablolar Karadağ (Montenegro), Arnavutluk, Hırvatistan, İyon ve Ege denizleri, Yunanistan'ın anakara kısmı (Peloponez, Attika, Tesalya), Anadolu, Suriye, Kıbrıs, Kutsal Yerler, Türkiye, Yemen, Irak, Ermenistan, Hazar denizi, hatta İran ve Hindistan'a dek uzanan bir coğrafyadan yer manzaraları, kentler ve liman kentleri içermektedir.
