Series Third Thursdays at the Library

The Clark Library has an extensive collection of maps and atlases from the
16th century as well as several high quality reproductions of medieval
mappa mundi (world maps) and portolan charts. Many of these visually
exquisite maps are more art than map. We’ll have many important
geographical works on display including Ortelius’s world atlas, Theatrum
Orbis Terrarum (1570), which was one of the most popular books of its time
and is considered by many to be the first modern atlas.
