"Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula" (3) is a renowned world map created by the Dutch cartographer Joan Blaeu, a prominent figure in the Golden Age of Dutch cartography. Blaeu, who lived from 1596 to 1673, was the son of Willem Blaeu, another distinguished cartographer. The Blaeu family operated one of the most successful mapmaking and publishing businesses in Amsterdam during the 17th century. Their maps were celebrated for their accuracy, artistic quality, and decorative elements, which made them highly sought after by scholars, navigators, and collectors.

The "Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula" (3) is a prime example of Blaeu's cartographic expertise and artistic flair. Published in the mid-17th century, this map is part of Blaeu's larger atlas works, such as the "Atlas Maior," which was one of the most comprehensive and lavishly illustrated atlases of its time. The map itself is a double-hemisphere projection, a common format for world maps of the period, which elegantly displays the known world with remarkable detail and precision.

One of the distinguishing features of Blaeu's work is the intricate and decorative border surrounding the map. This border often includes allegorical figures, portraits of explorers, and scenes of various continents, reflecting the contemporary European worldview and the Age of Exploration. The map also features elaborate cartouches, which are ornamental frames that contain the title and other inscriptions, adding to the map's aesthetic appeal.

Blaeu's "Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Tabula" (3) not only served as a practical tool for navigation and education but also as a work of art that showcased the craftsmanship and intellectual achievements of its time. The map's blend of scientific accuracy and artistic beauty exemplifies the high standards of Dutch cartography during the 17th century and continues to be admired by historians, geographers, and art enthusiasts today.
