20 He earned a wide reputation for his maps, and his style was extensively copied, particularly in England. It was through Sanson's maps that the discoveries of Champlain and other French explorers in North America became generally known. As in other countries throughout the world in the 16th and 17th centuries, the map market in Germany was dominated by the Amsterdam-based map publishing houses; that is, until their decline. In 1702, when he was 38 years old, Johann Baptist Homann opened his own map engraving office and publishing house in Nuremberg. After five years, he published his first atlas, with 40 maps he had etched himself. Five years after that, in 1712, Homann's atlas of countries in the world was enlarged to too maps. In 1716, Johann's greatest work up to that time, "Grosse Atlas Uber Die Ganze Welt" (The Atlas of the Whole World) was introduced. Three years later, at the age of 55, he published the "Atlas Methodicus:' a school atlas, at the suggestion of the head of the school system in Hamburg. New York Public Library, Rare Map Collection At the time of his death in 1724, more than 200 separate maps had been etched by Johann Baptist Homann and published by his establishment. Astronomer J. G. Doppelmayer helped keep abreast of contemporary progress in scientific discoveries and its impact on cartographic knowledge of the day. The result of their collaboration, and the most important work ever produced by Johann Baptist Hamann, was the "Basic Geography and Current Astronomy" a world map in two hemispheres, with the coordinates of all known countries and reference points at that time in the world, accurately determined through the application of astronomical precision.

This map, which was eventually published in 1733 — nine years after Homann's death —was a landmark in 18th century cartography. It included 140 places in the world, positioned exactly according to astronomical find , ings and precision. After his death, his heirs continued to publish his maps and the company flourished. The largest work pub , lished by the firm, "Atlas Homannianus," was produced in 1742 with 300 individual maps, many of them revised versions of work originally done by Johann himself. During his later life, Johann Baptist Homann's work was honored by people inside Germany as well as out. At the time of his death in Nuremberg on July 1, 1724, he had been appointed the Imperial Geographer for the Holy Roman Empire by Kaiser Karl VI, was a member of the Prussian Academy of Science and named an Imperial "Moscow Agent" by the Czar Peter Alexejwitsch. In addition to the extensive body of work pro , duced by Herr Homann in cartography, he also engraved distinctive portraits of many well-known people of the day, including one of Czar Alexi Michailowitsch and one of Czar Michael Fjodorowitsch. Obviously a clever man with his hands, he also produced small globes, so-called "geographical watches:' and mechanical artifacts. His son Johann Christoph Homann directed the publishing house until he died in 1730, followed by Johann Michael Franz, a gifted friend of the elder Homann and a medical doctor who later was named a professor at the Gottingen university. Homann's publishing house, known at this time as Homann's Heirs, remained in the map pub , lishing business until 1848, following the death of the last owner.
