The first major crisis in the history of the economy was "Tulip Mania" in Holland in the 1630s. Tulip, a flower spread in Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan, was first studied by the Flemish botanist Clusius, who brought the first bulbs to Europe at the end of the 1500s. He planted the tulips in a "study garden" of the University of Leiden. The interest of the people for the beautiful flower, called by the Iranians "Laleh", has been great since the beginning. Clusius notes that in 1598 the thieves stole 100 bulbs in one night. Another botanist, Conrad Guest, imported tulip bulbs from Constantinople, and in the following years, noble houses fought for tulip varieties, making them becoming a profitable industry, being exclusive. Gradually, the tulip also had request in other European countries for the aristocrat gardens. At the same time in the Netherlands cartographic development has a great momentum.
The aim of the article is to present how two great events took place during the Dutch golden period: tulips have conquered the Netherlands and Dutch cartographers create memorable maps. |
