Similar to Abraham Ortelius' earlier Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, their atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive, Atlas Novus was published 1635 in two volumes; in 1645 in four volumes; also named Atlas Maior in 1662 in 11 volumes, with ca. 600 maps and 3,000 pages of text in Latin.

The Toonneel der Steeden van de Vereenighde Nederlanden (Latin: Novum Ac Magnum Theatrum Urbium Belgicæ Liberæ ac Foederatæ) was published from 1649. At first in two different volumes. One of the liberated (latin: Liberæ) and one of the King's (Dutch: 's Konings) Netherlands.

An even larger project was planned but in 1672 a fire destroyed Joan Blaeu's studio. He died one year after this event.
