Tirion settled in Amsterdam around 1725, first on the Voorburgwal, later in the more respected Kalverstraat. He has published a large number of books, series works and magazines. This also included many topographical works. May be mentioned: 'Contemporary History' or 'Present State of all Nations' in 45! parts. 'Present State of the United Netherlands' in 12 volumes. Tirion also published eight atlases, of which several editions were published until about 1784. Its content could vary from 34 to 112 cards. One of those atlases was the "Atlas van Zeeland", published in 1760, with very accurate maps, Zeeland town and village views and prints of Zeelanders known at the time. From time to time collections of maps were also issued that could be bound as atlas, and it was advised that his customers leave extra space at the back of the binding for any additions. The atlas maps were printed on thick paper, the maps in his books had to make do with thinner material. Tirion employed a number of engravers to make the maps. Tirion also worked on commission. The States of Holland and West-Friesland asked for a large number of water management maps between 1754 and 1765. During this assignment he worked extensively with the editing of the, sometimes secret, map material. After his death - he was buried in the Westerkerk in Amsterdam - his widow continued the business for another ten years. pp: 579 pp. + unpaged Inserts and Bladwyzer
