Superlatives tend to fail in describing Joan Blaeus Atlas Maiorthat being said, it stands as one of the most extravagant feats in the history of mapmaking. The original Latin edition, completed in 1665, was the largest and most expensive book to be published during the 17th century. Its 594 maps appearing across 11 volumes spanned Arctica, Africa, Asia, Europe, and America. Ambitious in scale and artistry, it is included in the Canon of Dutch History, an official survey of 50 individuals, creations, or events that chart the most important historical developments of the Netherlands.TASCHENs meticulous reprint brings this luxurious Baroque wonder into the hands of modern readers. In an age of digitized cartography and global connectivity, it celebrates the steadfast beauty of quality printing and restores the wonder of an exploratory age, in which Blaeus native Amsterdam was a center of international trade and discovery.True to TASCHENs optimum reproduction standards, this edition is based on the Austrian National Librarys complete colored and goldheightened copy of Atlas Maior, assuring the finest detail and quality. University of Amsterdams Peter van der Krogt introduces the historical and cultural significance of the atlas while providing detailed descriptions for individual maps, revealing the full scale and ambition of Blaeus masterwork.
