*   **Exploration and Discovery**: The maps depict both familiar coastlines and relatively unexplored lands, illustrating the ongoing exploration and discovery of the world 【6】【7】.
*   **Book Production and Publishing History**: The Atlas Maior was the largest and most expensive book published in the 17th century 【8】【9】.
*   **Cultural and Social History**: The atlas is not only a cartographical document but also a social artifact, reflecting the cultural values and understanding of the world during that time 【10】.
*   **Art History**: Each map is a work of art, incorporating detailed features and artistic representations of geographical elements 【6】【7】.
*   **Cosmography**: Blaeu's Atlas Maior, or Cosmographia Blaviana, is one of the largest and most splendid of the multi-volume Dutch world atlases 【11】.
