When Gerardus [Gerhardus or Gerard] Mercator died in 1594, his son, Rumold, published the last of the three parts that formed his father's famous atlas, the Atlantis pars altera. The American map was engraved by Gerard Mercator's grandson, Michael, and is the only printed map known to be by him; Michael also engraved the famous Drake silver medal of 1589. Mercator's map was included in this German edition of Botero's Relationi universali.
