World map. Nouvelle et Exacte Description du Globe Terrestre Reveue Corrigee et Augmentee ... by Guillaume Blaeu

Nouvelle et Exacte Description du Globe Terrestre is a 17th-century double-hemisphere world map by Guillaume Blaeu, revised and expanded with decorative figures, polar charts, ships, cartouches, and allegorical panels. Its engraved Baroque style combines geographic knowledge with lavish ornament, presenting the world through European exploration, astronomy, and classical symbolism.

Guillaume Blaeu was a Dutch cartographer, publisher, and instrument maker, and one of the leading figures of the Golden Age of Dutch mapmaking. His atlases and wall maps were admired for their accuracy, elegant engraving, and rich decoration. Blaeu’s workshop helped establish Amsterdam as a major center of cartographic publishing.
