Description
Since its appearance as an Appendix in 1630, the atlas launched by
Willem Blaeu and continued by his son Joan had expanded greatly. But
despite many new regional maps the world map remained unchanged. For
some reason, Joan Blaeu's important wall map of 1648 was not immediately
adapted by his firm for atlas use.
The New
World map prepared by Joan Blaeu for his eleven-volume 'Atlas Maior' in
1662 is, unlike its predecessor, in two hemispheres. Outside the twin
hemispheres at the top are celestial figures seated amid clouds: below
are representations of the four seasons, with each allegorical figure
seated in an appropriate chariot quaintly drawn by pairs of beasts and
birds. As with all productions by the firm of Blaeu, the engraving and
layout and elegance of decoration are all of the highest standards.
Gustaaf Willem Baron van Imhoff.

Marine parallel rulers in brass.
Very fine marine parallel rulers in brass. The parallel ruler is the oldest and most traditional way to measure and trace routes and bearings. The principle is simple: the ruler is placed on the road to be measured and then, like a pantograph, the other part of the ruler is placed on one of the declination roses on the map to determine the angle. They are, essentially, two straight-edges hinged so that they maintain the same angle. By alternating the moving edge, and securely holding down the no...
