Today’s global conflicts show up in rare books from the 17th century, like our Blaeu Atlas, aka, Atlas maior, sive, Cosmographia BlavianaAtlas maior, sive, Cosmographia Blavianaqua solum, salum, coelum, accuratissime describuntur (Amsterdam, 1662). Here are three images from one of our 11 volumes showing Ukraine, including Kyiv (Kiow, on our hand-colored engraving) along with two title plates having soldiers with arrows drawn revealing that violent confrontations in this tumultuous region have been longstanding. -- source link
