Moll was a Dutch emigrant who came to London about 1680 following the Scanian Wars, he first worked as an engraver for Moses Pitt, later setting up his own business and becoming, after the turn of the century, the foremost map publisher in England. Moll was at the forefront of map making during his working life and his maps reflect his ever inquisitive nature.
