This large old map represents a detailed view of Europe. It was published in 1643 by Willem Blaeu, a Dutch cartographic publisher famous in in the XVII century. It is flanked on each side by five couples in period costumes, and on top, by a decorative edge made up of nine European cities. Once you have assembled the illustrated borders, the colors of the borders would help you orientate yourself in the rest of Europe which has much changed since.
