Product description
Blaeu's Europe or the continent's finest.
In the horizontal bands city views were added; In the vertical lines regional people in costume. Ortelius had already cautiously dealt with this issue. Willem Blaeu's (see two engravings) map of Europe was first published in 1617 and was included in all of his major atlases. This map became very popular and also appeared in the Atlas Maior, the most famous world atlas, published much later by his son Joan in... 1662. The upper frieze illustrates the then relative importance of some of the cities shown (obviously as selected by William): Amsterdam, Prague, Constantinople, Venice, Rome, Paris, London, Toledo and Lisbon. But we miss Vienna, Madrid, Brussels or Antwerp! The "figures" (in the vertical bands) show a local man and woman (for Venice two men) of the regional people in lavish costumes. The (replica) painting is in a passe-partout in a mahogany-colored wooden frame. Is certified "Acid Free.
There are some small scratches on the frame, which are not noticeable.
