Map of Europe from 1644 (circa)
This classic map of Europe is presented in the carte-de-figures style with vignettes on three sides. The upper frieze has nine bird’s-eye views of Amsterdam, Prague, Constantinople, Venice, Rome, Paris, London, Toledo and Lisbon.
The side borders contain the costumes of the noblemen and women of ten European nations. The map is embellished with sailing ships, sea monsters, bears and Neptune riding a dolphin and holding his trident.
A beautiful map produced at the height of the Golden Age of Dutch mapmaking; it was included in the first volume of Blaeu’s magnificent atlas. Latin text on verso, published between 1644-55.
