Blaeu's Atlas Maior
Dublin Core
Title
Blaeu's Atlas Maior
Description
Despite its great beauty, Blaeu's Atlas Maior was compiled from many outdated impressions including those of his father's and was, therefore, terribly inaccurate. To his audience, this mattered little. They were simply moved by its sheer size, its evidence of high craftsmanship, and its stunning range of lively colors. To own such an atlas was synonymous with abundant wealth and an esteemed social position.
