The Atlas Blaeu - Van Der Hem of the Austrian National Library
Author: The Atlas Blaeu-Van Der Hem of the Austrian National Library, Volume II
Author: Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004617027
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 730
Book Description
A complete descriptive and illustrated catalogue of one of the largest and finest atlases ever assembled. Now housed in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, the 46-volume atlas is an expanded version of Joan Blaeu's Atlas Maior or 'Great Atlas', published in Amsterdam between 1660 and 1663. Though the core of the atlas consists of the several hundred maps issued by Blaeu, the original owner of the atlas, Laurens van der Hem (1621-1678), added other maps, views, and drawings of his own choice, including four volumes of manuscript maps of Africa and Asia made for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The practice of augmenting atlases was common in the seventeenth century, but few of these personalized atlases have survived the centuries. The catalogue in 7 volumes (plus a volume about the making of the facsimile) will include all the sheets in the atlas reproduced in black-and-white, with cartographical historical and arthistorical descriptions by P. van der Krogt and E. de Groot. Each volume will contain approximately 16 full-colour illustrations. I. Spain, Portugal and France (vols. 1-8). 1996. With about 700 illustrations. 632 pp. ISBN 978 90 6194 278 8 II.

Motion in Maps, Maps in Motion

ISBN: 9048542952
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
This volume argues that the mapping of stories, movement and change should not be understood as an innovation of contemporary cartography, but rather as an important aspect of human cartography with a longer history than might be assumed. The authors in this collection reflect upon the main characteristics and evolutions of story and motion mapping, from the figurative news and history maps that were mass-produced in early modern Europe, through the nineteenth- and twentieth-century flow maps that appeared in various atlases, up to the digital and interactive motion and personalised maps that are created today. Rather than presenting a clear and homogeneous history from the past up until the present, this book offers a toolbox for understanding and interpreting the complex interplays and links between narrative, motion and maps.

Book Description
This 9th volume in the series of 'Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica' includes a separate extensive thematic index on the complete series. For more information, please ask for our special brochure on this publication. We have a limited stock of earlier published volumes available. This volume focuses exclusively on the work of Hessel Gerritsz (c. 1581-1632), who ranks among the most important and influential cartographers of the early-seventeenthcentury Amsterdam. He started his career in Willem Jansz. Blaeu's workshop. About 1608 he established himself as an independent engraver, mapmaker and printer. A selection of his maps has been described and reproduced in full size and his position as chart-maker of the Dutch East and West India Company is discussed in detail. This is the last and final volume in the series 'Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica'.
