Biography engraver: Huych ‘Hugo’ Allard (1625-1691) was a Dutch engraver and founder of the Allard family publishing business in Amsterdam. He specialized in maps, atlases, and prints, often using the work of Blaeu, Jansson, De Wit, and Visscher. His maps are known for their fine engraving and rarity. Huych Allard’s map publishing business was later succeeded by his son Carel Allard (1648-c.1706), who expanded the family’s cartographic work. The Allards produced composite atlases and decorative maps based on the latest geographical knowledge.
