Colorized drawing of Gerardus Mercator (March 5, 1512 - December 2, 1594), a Flemish cartographer. He was born Gerard de gemor or de Cremer (Mercator is the Latinized form of his name). In 1538 he produced a map of the world and a map of Flanders in 1540. He was appointed Court Cosmographer to Wilhelm, Duke of Julich-Cleves-Berg in 1564.
