Artist

Moll (1654-1732)

Hermann Moll (1654–1732) was a London-based engraver, cartographer, and publisher known for his detailed maps of Europe and the Americas. He also created maps for Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. His major works include the Atlas Geographus (1711–1717) and Atlas Minor (1719), both published in multiple editions. Moll collaborated with explorer William Dampier, whose travel reports provided valuable geographic data for Moll’s maps. Dampier’s popularity and the public’s growing interest in travel literature helped boost Moll’s success, leading other authors like Defoe and Swift to use his illustrations.
