Experts at book and cartographic printing.
Description
During the seventeenth century the people of the seventeen united provinces of the Netherlands experienced a period of tremendous economic prosperity. As a water-logged society with few land-based natural resources of their own, the Dutch developed into a highly efficient maritime culture that feverishly explored the globe to find goods that were in demand on the continental European market.
Along with numerous advances in the fields of science, industry, business, and linguistics, the Dutch also became experts at book and cartographic printing.
The example of cartographic printing that you see in this web site was produced by the printing house established by Willem Jansz(oon) Blaeu (1571-1638) in Amsterdam which, from its founding in 1596 and until 1672, housed the largest and most sophisticated presses in Northern Europe.
