Book
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."

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 was and remains the largest alias ever published. Its six hundred or so maps portray the world as it was known in the middle of the seventeenth century with its great empires, far off kingdoms and lands of legend. The embellishment and decoration of these maps, unsurpassed in their beauty and detail, belonged to a long lost age of map-making. At the time it was published The Atlas Major was a functional atlas, but it was also the great show piece of the Amsterdam mapmaker's art. It is believed that it was published in an edition of three hundred copies, which were presented to kings and emperors and bought by wealthy noblemen and merchants to display in their houses and impress their rivals. The French edition was dedicated to Louis XIV, The Sun King, and his finance minister, Colbert, and the Atlas was the most expensive book sold in the course of the seventeenth century. Several copies still survive and command prices at auction well out of the reach of all but the wealthiest collector. This edition contains one hundred of the most important maps reproduced using the finest modern techniques from the volume held in the map room of the Royal Geographical Society in London, John Goss, formerly the cartographic consultant at Sotheby's, has written the introduction which outlines the history of the Atlas, together with caption notes for each of the maps chosen. Many of these include historical information relating to the contemporary history of the region shown. " Very Good in slightly torn dustwrapper.

Summary; This work contains maps of England, Ireland, and Scotland from Joan Blaeu's exquisite world atlas of 1665. "The Atlas Maior", the cartographical masterpiece of the Baroque period, was brought out between 1662 and 1665 by the Amsterdam publisher Joan Blaeu, one of Holland's leading cartographers. Originally appearing in Latin, the atlas comprised 594 maps in 11 volumes, which depicted the whole of the world as known to early modern Europe. It was the largest and most expensive book published during the 17th century. For more than 100 years, it remained the definitive atlas of the world, and today is among the most sought-after and valuable antiquarian rarities. This reprinted edition in six volumes is based on the hand-colored, gold-heightened copy in the "Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek" in Vienna, thus ensuring the best possible detail and quality. Alongside Joan Blaeu's original commentaries on the individual maps, a new text by Peter van der Krogt explains the historical and cultural associations and introduces the reader to the fascinating world of early modern cartography. This two-volume set features all 58 maps of England and 55 maps of Scotland and Ireland and the text is in English, French, and German. Subjects; Scales differ. England - Maps - Early works to 1800.
