  • Mercator's workshops produced items such as globes in a steady stream. The records of the Plantin Press show that they received 1150 maps and globes from Mercator over a thirty year period (Clair 1987; Voets 1962, pp. 171–232; Imhof 2012, pp. 103–114): in particular they sold 185 copies of the 1569 world map in three years. At the same time Mercator was selling items at the regular international Frankfurt Book Fair and selling direct from his own workshop.
