Description :

21 1/2" x17 1/2" Framed Replica of “Evropa recens descripta" by Guilielmo Blaeuw, dating back to 1644. This map of Europe is adorned with illustrations, including ships, sea monsters, bears in Russia, and lions in North Africa. Along the top border are aerial views and plans of nine capital cities: Amsterdam, Praga, Constantinopolis, Venetia, Roma, Paris, London, Toledo, and Lisbon. The map also features ten pairs of figures in national costumes. Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571-1638), also known as Guillaume or Guiljelmus Janssonius Caesius, was a Dutch cartographer, globemaker, and astronomer active in Amsterdam during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He founded his company in 1596 and was appointed official chart maker to the Dutch East India Company in 1633. His maps were featured in the works of the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. Blaeu's most significant work is his 1635 publication of the "Theatrum orbis terrarum, sive, Atlas Novus," considered one of the greatest atlases of all time.
