The Blaeu-van der Hem Atlas, a collective work including more than 2000 plates showing old city and landscape pictures in 50 volumes, was compiled by the Amsterdam lawyer Laurens van der Hem, on the basis of the Atlas Major by Joan Blaeu, in the years from 1662 to 1678. This complete and all-encompassing compendium offers a unique overview of seventeenth century geography, history and culture.

The work of Van der Hem dedicates a full volume to Switzerland; all views and engravings were made by Matthäus Merian of Basel and colourfully illustrated by Dirck Jansz van Santen. The overall impression of the engravings is further enhanced by the painted landscapes added to the original vistas. The illuminator successfully transformed the former copper plates with their strong chiarioscuro effects into serene and brightly coloured landscapes of old Switzerland in unparalleled form.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
