Gerard Mercator (1512 - 1594) was one of the most important cartographers of the 16th century. His 'Atlas of the World' is one of the highlights in the cartographic collection of the Maritime Museum Rotterdam. It was assembled out of three copies of Mercator's famous Map of the World of 1569. In this map Mercator employed a new type of projection, with increasing latitude towards the poles. This so-called 'Mercator projection' marked the beginning of a new era in the evolution of navigation charts and is still widely used today.THE SINGLE COLOURED COPYToday, only three copies of the world map and two fragments in the 'Mercator Atlas of Europe' (collection British Library) have been preserved.

It contains remarkably large maps of oceans and continents, and is therefore thought to be a prototype for a sea-atlas that was never taken into production. The atlas is a feast for the eyes: mythological scenes, Renaissance letters and elaborate depictions of monsters, ships and people, and the first separate map of the North Pole. On the celebration of Mercator's 500th anniversary (2012) the Maritiem Museum Rotterdam and Walburg Pers have decided to publish a new, full-colour high quality reproduction of the 'Atlas of the World'.
