Atlas Maior – Italia by Peter Van Der Kroght; Joan Blaeu Pages are clean and are not marred by notes or folds of any kind. ~ ThriftBooks: Read More, Spend Less
This is a stunning Joan Blaeu Atlas Maior of 1665 Italia, still in its original seal. The original eleven-volume Latin edition, containing 594 maps, put Blaeu ahead of his staunch competitor, mapmaker Joanes 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.
