Pieter OVERADT (attivo a Colonia 1596 - 1632)

Peter Overadt is one of the many lesser-known figures of the second generation of the Cologne school of map making, which had been founded about 1570 by Frans Hogenberg. Overadt is noteworthy as the first continental publisher (aside from Jodocus I Hondius, who was at that time active in London) to have decorated printed topographical maps with marginal historical-political images. During the first phase of his business (1592-1600), he issued eight maps, with a three-sheet map of "Germania" as the pinnacle of his production. After 1600, Overadt's firm was primarily engaged in the publication of religious prints with a Catholic orientation. Topographical productions from this later period are three large town views and the re-issue of a map of the Rhine area, printed from a re-worked copper plate of 1594 by Theodoor de Bry.
