The historical maps of the past provide historical insight into the present. Moreover, the interface of historical cartography with other disciplines and sciences is great. It is really special that, when no aerial photos were made and GPS had not yet been invented, people were still able to make a successful image of the city, the country or even the world. The question of what the world looks like is therefore of all times. Historical cartography teaches us a lot about the perspective and world view of mankind from the past centuries.

Highlight of historical cartography

The pinnacle of historical cartography can be found in the 16th and 17th century historical plans and maps. These are the most beautiful cards ever made. These maps were certainly not only informative, but a real work of art. They were finished in great detail, with beautiful decorative elements.

We at Dat Narrenschip have an extensive collection of historical maps. The maps, dating from the 16th to the 19th century, beautifully show how the historical cartography and the world view of mankind have developed over the centuries.
