Another way of achieving this is to find out where the original maps are and deal directly with the owners (probably a library or museum). Hopefully the owners of the original maps are cited in the credits of the books you give as the sources of the images. Your professor, or his publisher, would then approach the owners of the originals for (a) a high quality reproduction for use in the new work and (b) permission of the owners to reproduce their property. Both of these transactions would attract a fee.
The publishers of the books in which the images appear may or may not still have the reproductions they used. In any event, your professor would still need permission of the owner of the original regardless of where the image comes from.
This is my understanding from many years of helping hopeful authors at the British Library. I hope it helps.

Hello Roger,
While the original Renaissance map is no longer in copyright, most
likely the newer "images" are. The Journal and the publishers probably
hold the copyright, or at least should be able to tell you who does.
The professor who is posing the question is probably working with a
publisher and that publisher should be able to give some tips on
figuring this out. I have worked with publishers that have standard
forms for copyright permission. Your professor my want to ask further
about that.
Yours,
Donna
