Application Description

This splendid, sweeping atlas represents the 11- volume first edition of Johannes Blaeu's celebrated cartographic masterpiece, the Atlas Maior, published in Amsterdam in 1662. Blaeu's Atlas Maior was the greatest atlas ever published, a landmark in the history of cartography. With different volumes devoted to specific parts of the world, Blaeu lavished meticulous attention and flawless detail on every corner of the globe. No other atlas ever published was as costly, or had such an exalted place in the society in which it was produced.

For quality of engraving, beauty of ornament, coloring, typography and paper, the atlas has never been surpassed, and the maps were on the forefront of geographical knowledge and discovery.
