Pas-kaart Van De Golff De Guanaios ... Yucatan ...
|
A decorative and scarce chart of the Yucatan peninsula, the Honduras coast line and outlying islands, and the western part of Cuba. North is orientated to the bottom of the page and the decorated title cartouche features inside the Yucatan landmass. The cartouche is flanked by angelic figures and a scale in German, Spanish and English miles is also given. The chart is crossed by rhumb lines with compass roses and has a vignette of a sailing ship. The chart was published in "De Nieuwe Groot Lichtende Zee-Fakel", one of the earliest publications from the renowned family of Van Keulen, hydrographers active for over 140 years during which time they were appointed as chartmakers to the Dutch east India Company. A good example with attractive hand colour.
