*see card under A/10000/[1645](1649 (MIC NMC 21527); It is 1638 but without description
The interesting Blaeu map of the polar regions has been dated [1640] according to a note in Koeman which indicates that the map was published in an appendix to the 1635 edition of Blaeu's Theatrum... The appendix was apparently published in 1640. As Blaeu (W.) died in 1638 the map must have been published prior to this date. The map appeared in several atlases between 1638 and [1677], published by Joan Blaeu. The map always appeared in the latin edition of the atlases. The N.M.C. holds three copies of the map. One is the separate sheet described another is a copy of Blaeu's 1649: Le Theatre du Monde, Vol. I, pl. 5, and the final copy is a coloured reproduction by Penn Prints.
