Klappentext

In this journal cover, you can see the world through the eyes of Willem Blaeu, a 17th-century mapmaker who set the standard for map engraving, paper and colour quality. The original coloured copperplate map is one of the most sought-after maps from the Golden Age of Dutch cartography and is a fine depiction of Blaeu's geographical knowledge.
