Cloth, folio, 37 cm, 224 pp, 100 colour maps. Introduction by John Goss; foreword by Peter Clark. From the blurb: "Joan Blaeu's The Atlas Major, first published in 1662, is still the largest atlas ever produced. Over six hundred maps portray the world as it was known in the middle of the 17th century with its great empires, far-off exotic kingdoms and lands of legend. The embellishment and decoration of these maps, unsurpassed in their beauty and sumptuous detail, bring to life a long-lost age of mapmaking. The Atlas Major was the most expensive book sold in the 17th century. Published in an original edition of about three hundred copies, the atlas was not only functional, but it was also the great showpiece of the Amsterdam mapmaker's art. Copies were presented to kings and emperors (the French edition was dedicated to Louis XIV, The Sun King, and his finance minister, Colbert) and were bought by wealthy noblemen and merchants to display at home and impress their rivals."

Measures 45 x 30 x 6.5 cm. shipping weight is 16 pounds. Texts and translations presented in English, German and French. Three and a half centuries before Google Maps there was. Joan Blaeu's atlas, the finest ever published The finest and most comprehensive baroque atlas was Joan Blaeu's exceptional Atlas Maior, completed in 1665. The original 11-volume Latin edition, containing 536 maps, put Blaeu ahead of his staunch competitor, mapmaker Johannes Janssonius, whose rivalry inspired Blaeu to produce a grandiose edition of the largest and most complete atlas to date. Covering Arctica, Europe, Africa, Asia, and America, Blaeu's Atlas Maior was a remarkable achievement and remains to this day one of history's finest examples of mapmaking. This reprint is made from the National Library of Vienna's complete, colored, gold-heightened copy, thus assuring the best possible detail and quality. The book's introduction, by the University of Utrecht's Peter van der Krogt, discusses the historical and cultural context and significance of the atlas; Krogt also provides detailed descriptions of the maps, allowing modern readers to fully appreciate Blaeu's masterwork.…

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition.

Couverture rigide. Etat : Neuf. Etat de la jaquette : Neuf. 2ème Édition. Netherlands , Hes de Graaf Publishers , 1996. 8 Volumes/8. -- Volumes I-V compiled by Peter van der Krogt and Erlend de Groot; Volume VI compiled by Peter van der Krogt, Erlend de Groot and Martijn Storms; Volume VII by Erlend de Groot; Volume VIII edited by Koert van der Horst -------- A complete descriptive and illustrated catalogue of one of the largest and finest atlases ever assembled. Now housed in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, the 46-volume atlas is an expanded version of Joan Blaeu's Atlas Maior or 'Great Atlas', published in Amsterdam between 1660 and 1663. Though the core of the atlas consists of the several hundred maps issued by Blaeu, the original owner of the atlas, Laurens van der Hem (1621-1678), added other maps, views, and drawings of his own choice, including four volumes of manuscript maps of Africa and Asia made for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The practice of augmenting atlases was common in the seventeenth century, but few of these personalized atlases have survived the centuries. The catalogue in 7 volumes (plus a volume about the making of the facsimile) will include all the sheets in the atlas reproduced in black-and-white, with cartographical historical and arthistorical descriptions by P. van der Krogt and E. de Groot. Each volume will contain approximately 16 full-colour illustrations. ***************************** I. Spain, Portugal and France. Descriptive Catalogue of Volumes 1-8 of the Atlas. 1996.
