You can’t even wrench the laminated Streetwise map away from him, so you know he’ll love this. Prepare yourself for weeks of, “Honey, come check this out!” First published in 1665, Atlas Maior was created by renowned cartographer Joan Blaeu, and is considered the most comprehensive baroque atlas. It covers Arctica, Europe, Africa, Asia, and America, and stands as a master work in mapmaking. This hardcover copy was created from the National Library of Vienna’s complete, colored, gold-heightened copy, and features an introduction by Peter van der Krogt that offers in-depth descriptions of the maps.
