Nicolaes Visscher II (1649–1702) was a prominent Dutch engraver, cartographer, and map publisher from Amsterdam, belonging to the distinguished Visscher family of cartographers. He was the son of Nicolaes Visscher I and the grandson of Claes Janszoon Visscher, both significant figures in Dutch Golden Age cartography. Nicolaes II continued the family tradition by producing detailed and decorative maps and atlases that were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistry. After his death, his wife Elisabeth maintained the business, and the engraved plates were sold to Peter Schenk, who reprinted many of the Visscher maps. The Visscher maps are noted for their elaborate cartouches and rich detail, contributing greatly to 17th-century European cartographic heritage.
