Blaeu
From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
There were two Dutch cartographers named Blaeu, en:Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571 in Alkmaar - 1638 in Amsterdam) and his son en:Joan Blaeu (1596 in Alkmaar - 1673 in Amsterdam).
Similar to Abraham Ortelius' earlier Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, their atlas Theatrum orbis terrarum, sive, Atlas novus was published 1635 in two volumes; in 1645 in four volumes; also named en:Atlas Maior in 1662 in 11 volumes plus 1 for oceans, with 600 maps, 3,000 pages of comments in Latin.
The 'Toonneel der Steden van de Vereenighde Nederlanden' (Latin: Novum Ac Magnum Theatrum Urbium Belgicæ Liberæ ac Foederatæ) was published from 1649. At first in two different volumes. One of the liberated (latin: Liberæ) and one of the King's (dutch: 's Konings) Netherlands.
An even larger project was planned but in 1672 a fire destroyed Joan Blaeu's studio. He died one year after this event.
