P. C. J. van der Krogt Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

The most magnificent and complete atlas of the Early Modern period, the Atlas Maior by Dutch publisher Joan Blaeu, is one of the most beautiful atlases of the Baroque era. This facsimile edition in Latin, originating from the Austrian National Library, features several fold-out maps. The hand-colored copy was once owned by Prince Eugene of Savoy and is distinguished by its unique provenance as one of the few gilded editions. Quotations and travel impressions from notable figures, such as Benjamin Franklin, enhance the historical and political significance of individual maps.
