From a point of view of art, the atlas is notable for the color of the maps as well as the beauty of the script on the maps.

Based on several estimates and accounting for the single maps (torn-out from bound volumes of the atlas) sold or being sold worldwide, it is believed that a maximum of 20 complete examples could be present in libraries or in private collections whereas some sources suggest that there exist only 10 complete and intact copies in the world.
As such, it's one of the rarest printed atlases of historical value.
