The Atlas Blaeu-Van der Hem. The history of the
Atlas and the making of the facsimile
(<http://www.hesdegraaf.com/Book/Detail/the-atlas-blaeu-van-der-hem-the-history-of-the-atlas-and-the-making-of-the-fascimile>http://www.hesdegraaf.com/Book/Detail/the-atlas-blaeu-van-der-hem-the-history-of-the-atlas-and-the-making-of-the-fascimile)
In 2011 we will complete one of our most
prestigious projects; the publication of the
facsimile of the Atlas Blaeu-Van der Hem (bound
in eight volumes). To celebrate this occasion we
have published an accompanying publication with
background information on the Atlas Blaeu-Van
der Hem and the production of the facsimile.
In this book, various experts on the Atlas
Blaeu-Van der Hem describe the many aspects of
this unique compilation atlas from the 17th
century. The book contains contributions by
Roelof van Gelder on the Atlas of Laurens van de
Hem and his library, a detailed description of
the life and works of the collector and the
making of his Atlas; Truusje Goedings on the
coloration of the Atlas; Erlend de Groot on the
art historical aspects of a series of drawings
from the Atlas; Peter van der Krogt on the Atlas
Maior by Blaeu, which served as the point of
departure for the Atlas; Benjamin Schmidt on the
printed maps from the Atlas, and Dick Gaasbeek
on the making of the facsimile of the Atlas,
including a detailed description of the
photography, the printing and the binding.
Together with an introduction by Günter
Schilder, this book further contains a catalogue
with the numbers and titles of, and brief
information on all the maps and images present
in the eight volumes of the facsimile.
Extend your series of the catalogue of the Atlas
Blaeu-Van der Hem of the Austrian Library, now
with an additional 8th volume about the history
of the Atlas Blaeu-Van der Hem and the challenges of making the facsimile.
