Pieter van der Aa (1659 - 1733) was a Dutch publisher of maps and atlases active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. During his long and impressive career, Van der Aa produced thousands of maps, including a vast 28 volume atlas containing no less than 3,000 maps. This artwork is shipped from Italy.
