To commemorate its 200th anniversary as a public national library, the collections of the Royal Library’s rare and significant books, manuscripts, archival materials, maps, pictures, and music, which are too often only made familiar to specialists, are here for all the world to admire. The foreign collections reach back to classical antiquity and the middle ages, ranging wide geographically. Of particular note are the valuable Asian collections, the roots of which go back as far as Carsten Niebuhr’s expedition in the 1760s and Rasmus Rasta’s collecting in India in the 1820s. This book, a compilation of treasures in print, is itself a glorious treasure. Exquisitely illustrated in color and black and white.
