| | Herman Moll geographer |
 | | Herman Moll (1654-1732), the geographer or cartographer, lived in a time of discoveries, the Anglo-Dutch wars (to control the North Sea), the rise of New Netherlands and North America, the House of Stuarts, William of Orange and the Renaissance. |
 | | His talents as an engraver, geographer, businessman, and entrepreneur assured him access to the city's growing middle-class society and its intellectual-cultural elite. |
 | | Certainly, by the time he died at the center of the brilliant, vital, and prosperous commercial, intellectual, and cultural life of his adopted land, he had become a proper Englishman, and along the way he had encouraged Britain to forge a proper empire. |
