About the book

The Queen Mary Atlas is a sixteenth-century manuscript atlas created during the great age of European maritime exploration. Its maps combine geographical knowledge with elaborate decoration, ships, sea creatures, flags and coastal detail, reflecting both practical navigation and Renaissance ideas about the wider world. The atlas is an important document of cartography at a time when European knowledge of global geography was expanding rapidly.
