Bush is shown the America volume of the 'Atlas Blaeu-Van der Hem', a 17th century atlas, by curator Jan Mokre as he takes a tour of the Austrian National Library in Vienna, Austria, Wednesday, June 21, 2006. Representing the entire surface of the Earth, the 50 volume Atlas Blaeu-Van der Hem is often considered the most beautiful and most remarkable atlas ever composed. Containing more than 2,400 maps, prints, and drawings, it offers a pictorial encyclopaedia of seventeenth-century knowledge ranging from geography and topography to warfare and politics.
