Puzzle 4000 «Historical Map. 1657» — is not just an engaging activity but a true journey through time, where each piece reveals a page of the past.
The assembled picture (measuring 1360 × 960 mm) depicts a decorative hemispherical world map created by the Dutch cartographer Nikolaus Visscher and first published in Amsterdam in 1657.
This map became an ornament for the editions of the famous Van Ravestein Bible, which were published from 1657 to 1670. Later, a second edition appeared — with refined geographical contours and the addition of New Zealand, which made it a historical testament to the development of world views in the 17th century.
