クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「The Blaeu Atlas Major is perhaps the most famous atlas in the history of printed maps. 🗺 ✨⠀ .⠀ The magnificent work is coloured throughout by a contemporary hand and heightened in gold, containing some 200 maps.⠀ .⠀ Published in five languages (Latin, Dutch, French, German and Spanish) from 1662, this comprehensive atlas was the epitome of decades of achievement by the Blaeu family.⠀ .⠀ The present example is the Dutch edition, which is arranged quite differently from the Latin or French editions.⠀ .⠀ The Dutch edition, entitled 'Tooneel des Aerdrycks', is the most complicated in make-up, with the text being reset at least 4 times.⠀ .⠀ Willem Blaeu (1571-1638) and Jan Blaeu (1596-1673), 'Grooten Atlas [Atlas Major]'. Amsterdam: Johannes Blaeu, 1664. Price on request.⠀ .⠀ 📍 Available via Christie's Private Sales.
