Willem Blaeu was a renowned Dutch cartographer and mapmaker who lived during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was born in Alkmaar, Netherlands, on October 24, 1571, and passed away on October 21, 1638. Blaeu was one of the leading figures of the Dutch Golden Age of cartography, alongside his contemporaries such as Gerardus Mercator and Jodocus Hondius.

Blaeu's work was highly esteemed for its accuracy, attention to detail, and decorative elements. He was known for producing some of the most beautiful and intricate maps of his time. One of his significant contributions was the production of globes and atlases, which included detailed maps of various regions and continents.

The map "TOTIVS ASIAE NOVA ET EXACTA TABVLA EX PTIMIS TVM GEOGRAPHORVM TVM ALIORVM," translates to "A New and Accurate Map of the Whole of Asia." Blaeu created this map as part of his extensive collection of maps and atlases. During his career, he produced several maps depicting different parts of the world, and Asia would have been one of the focal points due to its historical and economic significance.

In 1599, Willem Blaeu established a business in Amsterdam, where he specialized in producing navigational charts and globes. His work gained recognition for its accuracy and craftsmanship. Blaeu's maps were known for their detailed information, decorative elements, and artistic quality.

In addition to his individual maps, Blaeu published several atlases, including the renowned "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theatre of the World) in 1635, which became one of the most famous and comprehensive atlases of its time.
