Blaeu – Le Theatre du Monde, Nouvel Atlas – 1647 – CGW134472/2

“Le Theatre du Monde, Nouvel Atlas”, Title Pages by Joan Blaeu, Dutch cartographer (1596 – 1673)

“Nouvel Atlas” was a comprehensive world atlas, conceived by Willem Blaeu, but compiled by his son Joan Blaeu, and completed in 1665. The original work consisted of eleven volumes, in Latin, containing 594 maps.

Blaeu was one of the greatest names in early map making. The Blaeu business flourished for over 40 years in the city of Amsterdam. When Willem died in 1638 his sons Johannes and Cornelis took over the business.

Original hand colouring.
