An old map is not just a geographical representation; it is a captivating journey through the history of the world. In this book, historian Anne-Rieke van Schaik delves into the fascinating stories behind the maps, prints, atlases, globes, and instruments belonging to the Phoebus Foundations collection. These objects provide a glimpse into the glorious moments and dark interludes of the history of the Low Countries, from the ongoing battle against water and the Eighty Years War to colonial expansion and the struggle for Belgian independence. Special attention is given to the Southern Netherlands, where pioneers like Gerard Mercator and Abraham Ortelius made significant contributions in the sixteenth century. Their maps not only opened up new paths but also continue to offer unique panoramas of the past. Groundbreakers, with its hundreds of beautiful images, invites you to rediscover and redefine the horizons of your own world.
