Antique Map centered on Nuremberg, Germany

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Territorium Norimbergense'. Beautiful map centered on Nuremberg, Germany. With decorative title cartouche and inset plan of the city. Published by W. Blaeu, circa 1635. Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571-1638) was a prominent Dutch geographer and publisher. Born the son of a herring merchant, Blaeu chose not fish but mathematics and astronomy for his focus. He studied with the famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, with whom he honed his instrument and globe making skills. Blaeu set up shop in Amsterdam, where he sold instruments and globes, published maps, and edited the works of intellectuals like Descartes and Hugo Grotius. In 1635, he released his atlas, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive, Atlas novus.
