"Henri Abraham Chatelain, whose "Atlas Historique" was one of the most extensive Dutch encyclopaedias of its time, first published in 1705 his Atlas Historique, which formed part of an immense seven-volume encyclopaedia. Although the main focus of the text was geography, the work also contained a wealth of historical, political and genealogical information.
Each map and table is numbered consecutively within its volume, and all the maps bear the privileges of the States of Holland and West Friesland. An ambitious and handsomely presented work, the Atlas Historique was intended for the general public, who in the early 18th century were fascinated by the recently conquered colonies and the new discoveries.
The maps, prints and plates required to make up a complete set are listed in detail in each volume.
How an Amalfi art print is made, what the frame is like, what museum glass is, how long shipping takes, and how returns work: we’ve gathered all the answers on a single page.
