“World Map,” by Joan Blaeu, 1638, from the Atlas Major. Joan Blaeu and his father Willem were the most respected cartographers of their time. Their maps were required on all Dutch ships engaged in trade with the Indies. Atlases replaced sheet maps as the dominant cartographic form in the seventeenth century. In 1670, Joan Blaeu was appointed Map Maker in Ordinary to the Dutch East India Company (VOC).
