Hello,

Please join us to for some fun and relaxation with colleagues and
guests as we highlight many of the wonderful Dutch maps from our
collection. Dutch and Flemish cartographers dominated commercial map
production in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. Their maps
and atlases were exquisite and were often the most widely printed
materials of that time. The Clark Library is fortunate to have many
fine examples from this time period including a recently acquired rare
Hondius atlas from 1629, maps by Gerard Mercator and Abraham Ortelius,
sea charts, and to top it off some printed maps of which there are no
other known copies.


Thursday December 20th, 4:00-7:00 pm
