Professionally cleaned historical map beautifully and professionally mounted/restored on see-through acid-free paper. Willem Janszoon Blaeu also abbreviated to Willem Jansz. Blaeu was a Dutch cartographer atlas maker and publisher. Blaeu was born at Uitgeest or Alkmaar. As the son of a well-to-do herring salesman he was destined to succeed his father in the trade but his interests lay more in Mathematics and Astronomy. Between 1594 and 1596 as a student of the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe he qualified as an instrument and globe maker. In 1600 he discovered the second ever variable star now known as P Cygni. Once he returned to Holland he made country maps and world globes and as he possessed his own printing works he was able to regularly produce country maps in an atlas format some of which appeared in the Atlas Novus published in 1635. In 1633 he was appointed map-maker of the East Indian Company. He was also an editor and published works of Willebrord Snell Descartes Adriaan Metius Roemer Visscher Gerhard Johann Vossius Barlaeus Hugo Grotius Vondel and the historian and poet Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft. He died in Amsterdam. He had two sons Johannes and Cornelis Blaeu who continued their father's mapmaking and publishing business after his death in 1638. Prints of the family's works are still sold today. Original maps are rare collector items. The Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer of Delft 1632-1675 holds a position of great honor among map historians. Several of his paintings illustrate maps hanging on walls or globes standing on tables or cabinets. Vermeer painted these cartographical documents with such detail that it is often possible to identify the actual maps. Evidently Vermeer was particularly attached to a Willem Blaeu - Balthasar Florisz van Berckenrode map of Holland and West Friesland as he represented it as a wall decoration in three of his paintings. Though no longer extant the map's existence is known from archival sources and second edition published by Willem Blaeu in 1621 titled "Nova et Accurata Totius Hollandiae Westfriesiaeq. Topographia Descriptore Balthazaro Florentio a Berkenrode Batavo". Vermeer must have had a copy at his disposal or the earlier one published by Van Berckenrode. Around 1658 he showed it as a wall decoration in his painting "Officer and Laughing Girl" which depicts a soldier in a large hat sitting with his back to viewer talking with a smiling girl who holds a glass in her hand. Bright sunlight bathes the girl and the large map on the wall. Vermeer's gift for realism is evidenced by the fact that the wall map mounted on linen and wooden rods is identifiable as Blaeu's 1621 map of Holland and West Friesland. He captures all of its characteristic design decoration and geographic content." His maps formed the bulk of the Atlas Maior that became a collector's item in Amsterdam. One of Blaeu's globes was purchased at auction by Maarten Magielse a Dutch salesman for the record price of 60.000 euro about $80.000. Magielse is now renting it to the globe museum in Vienna where it is being exhibited. Wikipedia unknown

Elise Otté (30 September 1818 ? 20 December 1903) was an Anglo-Danish linguist, scholar and historian. She completed a number of translations into English from different languages. She assisted her step-father in translating the Norse poems known as the Elder Edda. Otté was born in Copenhagen on 30 September 1818, to a Danish father and an English mother called Mary Anne. In 1820, she moved with her parents to the island of Saint Croix (then Sankt Croix of the Danish West Indies). When her father died, she and her mother returned to Denmark. In Copenhagen, her mother met and married another British man, English philologist Benjamin Thorpe, and together, the family moved to England. Thorpe taught his step-daughter several modern languages as well as Icelandic and Anglo-Saxon to the point that she was able to assist his grammatical work, but they clashed on a personal level and she found him oppressive. In 1840, she moved to Boston, United States for some independence and to study physiology at Harvard University. She also spent time on a tour of Europe. he later returned to her step-father's and she assisted his translation of the Elder Edda. She found life with him intolerable, however, and in 1849, she moved to Scotland and worked at the University of St Andrews translating for George Edward Day. Otte was again assisting an academic who was older than her. When Day retired in 1863, she moved with Day and his wife to Torquay until his death in 1872. She continued her career from London, writing in scientific periodicals, but also publishing a monograph, Scandinavian history, in 1874. This work of academic study had lasting impact and it was reprinted up to 1939 under the title of "Norway, Sweden and Denmark" which matched the title of her 1881 work "Denmark and Iceland". Her breadth and depth of knowledge enabled her to publish a range of works. She translated a number of books from German by Alexander von Humboldt and another by the historian Johann Martin Lappenberg. Her range of skills enabled her to also translate the scientific Rambles of a Naturalist on the Coast of Spain, France and Sicily by the biologist Jean Louis Armand de Quatrefages de Bréau which was written in French. In 1884 she published grammars of both Danish and Swedish as well as textbooks aimed at students of German in 1859 and of Danish in 1879. She died at Richmond on 20 December 1903, in her eighty-sixth year.
