A rare and sought-after chart of the West Indies by Johannes Van Loon in good condition, with unusually large margins, and with attractive original colour. This chart extends from Cape Cod in the north and maps the coast southwards to Florida, extending to cover Central America and along the South American coast as far as the Orinoco delta. The Tropic of Cancer is clearly marked and rhumb lines and sailing ships adorn the ocean. Johannes and Gilles Van Loon were amongst the many chart makers working in Amsterdam in the wake of the Dutch merchant marine activity around the world. Although the chart derives from one published by Gerritsz of some 30 years earlier this extends further north to include the New England south coast, and also charts the Pacific coast of Central America, off which a Dutch ship is illustrated for the first time in that location. A finely engraved and important chart.
