Joan/Johan/John Blaeu (23 September 1596 – 28 May 1673) was
a Dutch cartographer. He was born in Alkmaar, the son of
cartographer Willem Blaeu. In 1620 he became a doctor of law but he
joined the work of his father. In 1635 they published the Atlas Novus
(full title: Theatrum orbis terrarum, sive, Atlas novus) in two
volumes. He and his brother Cornelius took over the studio after their
father died in 1638. Joan became the official cartographer of the Dutch
East India Company.From “the rarest edition of Blaeu’s
Large Atlases”: only ten of the proposed eleven volumes were
completed and issued in a limited quantity between 1658 and the the
1672 fire, which brought work on the final volume to a halt
Around 1649 Joan Blaeu published a collection of Dutch city maps named
Tooneel der Steeden (Views of Cities). In 1651 he was voted into the
Amsterdam council. In 1654 he published the first atlas of
Scotland, devised by Timothy Pont. In 1662 he reissued the atlas with
11 volumes, and one for oceans. It was also known as Atlas Major.
