  A fine set of Blaeu'due south maps of the world and continents Five engraved maps with fine original hand color, heightened with gold, French and Latin text to verso. A fine ready of Blaeu's maps of the world and the four known continents. The Blaeu family unit popularised the carte-a-effigy manner of cartography, surrounding their maps with borders showing the native inhabitants of the land and city views. The four continents are shown in this style, with a border of views of major cities at the top and couples wearing the costume of their region at the sides. The border of the globe map contains personifications of the 4 elements and four seasons at the sides, views of the seven wonders of the ancient world at the bottom, and the planets personified as classical deities at the elevation. In the earth map, one of the earliest to apply the Mercator project, Blaeu has chosen not to evidence California as an island, as it often is on contemporary publications. He does, however, show North America separated from Asia by the mythical Strait of Anian. Much of North America remains blank and unexplored, with a cartouche placed strategically in the eye. At that place are two polar maps in the lower corners: the North Pole is left blank, showing the recent Dutch discovery of Novaya Zembla; the South Pole shows the mythical southern continent, Magellanica, thought to have been discovered by Magellan as he passed through the strait named after him.
