Frisius was born out of a passion for historical cartography. We want to share this passion for historical maps and old city maps with a broad audience. For many people, old maps have a bit of a dusty image, and/or are seen as exclusive, expensive objects for collectors. True, authentic old maps, especially the more rare ones, are also indeed not cheap.
The true collector is only interested in really old maps that have antiquarian value. For reproductions of historical maps, many collectors will no doubt turn their noses up. Fine, that's fine.
Frisius focuses on a different audience. We take old maps and plans out of the sphere of expensive, exclusive, antiquarian and strip historical maps of their dusty image. We take a fresh look at historical map material, give old maps a second life and make them accessible and attractive to a wide audience in all kinds of versions.
Because old maps deserve a wide audience. And vice versa, a broad public deserves to discover the beauty of the enormous amount of hidden cartographic treasures!
