A superb sea chart of the north west African coast from Cape Bojador to Cape Blanco - the coastline of Spanish Sahara. To the ancients this represented the furthermost limit of the world, beyond which a sailor could fall off the edge or boil in the heat! The Van Keulen family were the most successful and influential hydrographers working in Amsterdam from this time, when they became official chart makers to the VOC, the Dutch East India Company, into the nineteenth century. The lack of detail evident on this chart is supplemented by a large title cartouche showing Arab figures, one in elegant robes, against a background with merchants wares and a camel.
