A nice example of Pieter Goos's Zee-Atlas, one of the most decorative works published during the Dutch Golden Age of Cartography. The Zee-Atlas reflects the forefront of Dutch seafaring knowledge in 1666. The maps, mostly inspired by Doncker's cartography, focus on the far-flung parts of the world and include one of the earliest separate maps of California as an island, an exceptional map of the region between the Delaware River and Manhattan, and one of the few maps of the period to focus so closely on Tasman's discoveries. However, the greatest map in the atlas is perhaps the world map. Described by Shirley as "one of the most decorative world maps to appear in a Dutch atlas," it is a veritable tour de force. Geographically derived from Blaeu, the quality of engraving and coloring is truly superlative. From the sun face decorated in full gilt to the metaphor for the passing of the seasons at the bottom of the map, the piece is perfectly constructed and represents one of the apexes of Dutch 17th-century engraving. Goos is rightly reputed as the greatest bookseller of maritime cartography in Amsterdam in the second half of the 17th century. He self-describes the atlas on the title as "for gentlemen and merchants as well as for sailors and pilots," showcasing the wide reach that the atlas enjoyed. After this first edition, the Zee-Atlas was published in a number of further editions by Goos and his widow, displaying the staying power and continuing demand for the work. Editions and Rarity Goos's Zee-Atlas is known to exist with complements of 40 and 41 maps; the 1672, 1669, and 1668 typically have 41 maps of 40 called for by index per Koeman. This example possesses all 41 maps, including the Paskaerte Van de Zuydt en Noordt Revier in Nieu Nederlant., Goos's map of present-day New Jersey and one of the most valuable maps in the book.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. AN UNRECORDED FRENCH EDITION. PRESENTED TO THE MATHEMATICIAN ÉMILE PICARD. Amsterdam: [Jacob Robijn &] Pierre Yvounet, 1684[1687]. Folio in 4s (16 7/8" x 11", 429mm x 279mm). [Full collation available.] With an engraved title-page (integral with the text), 32 engraved double-page charts, 2 in-text engravings and many in-text woodcuts, including a volvelle (p. 11). Bound in contemporary calf. On the spine, 6 raised bands. Title gilt to red morocco (one above the other) in the second panel. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block speckled red and brown. Worn, with splits, losses and rubbing. The front hinge split but strong. Mild even tanning with the very odd spot of foxing. Some of the charts shaved. Armorial bookplate of E.T. Quinette de Rochemont to the front paste-down. Armorial bookplate (Joly?) to the verso of the third binder's blank (facing the title), with an ink manuscript instruction to Émile Picard signed "Joly" and dated 14 October 1925. Ink ownership inscription in an old hand to the title-page (just shaved): "Ex-libris G." As the Dutch came to dominate the world's seas over the course of the XVIIc, there was a perpetual demand for atlases and rutters (navigational manuals) reflecting the newest intelligence. From the middle of the century, books of this sort began to be printed not just by individual cartographer-engraver-publisher-booksellers but by groups of them, the better to respond to vast demand and to share the huge costs of cutting and printing the plates. Hendri(c)k Doncker (1625/6-1699), Pieter Goos (1615/6-1675) and Caspar Theuniszoon Lootsman (1635-1711) formed a consortium to print one of the great sea-atlases, known in its Dutch editions as the Zee-Spiegel (Sea-Mirror). The plates circulated among the three, and were freely adapted (sometimes re-cut entirely). Goos in particular had an eye to disseminating his work beyond the Dutch, and so published editions in English (with the snappy title of The Lightning Colomne) as well as in French -- as the Grand & Nouveau miroir ou Flambeau. The first of Goos's French editions was published in 1662 with 33 maps. Koeman (IV p. 202) records that from "1680, the stock and plates of Goos's Zeespiegel were acquired by Jacob Robijn who sold the copies unaltered under his imprint," but also that "although Robijn states in his preface that this work was printed by him in three languages: Dutch, English and French, apart from part V, no copy of a French edition is known to exist." Thus the present volume may well be unique, and gives credence to Robijn's published claim of publishing the four-part Zeespiegel in French. Our volume must have been assembled after 1684, as two charts bear later dates: "Zuyder-Zee" 1686 and "De Texel Stroom" 1687. Emile Théodore Quinette de Rochemont (1838-1908) was a civil engineer; from 1862 he was attached to the secretariat of the Conseil général des Ponts et Chausées, and through 1879 oversaw the building works at Le Havre, at which point he transferred to Valenciennes as chief engineer, studying a canal to connect the Escaut to the Meuse. Facing the title-page is a presentation inscription. The donor is probably Henry Joly (1892-1970), chief curator of the libraries of the city of Lyon from 1924. He was an evangelist of public libraries and access to rare books, and edited the journal Documents paléographiques, typographiques, iconographiques 1923-1944, at which point he joined the Résistance. The recipient is certainly Emile Picard (1856-1941), one of the great modern mathematicians. He was elected in 1924 to the first chair of the Academie Française, the council established to maintain the French language, whose members are called "les immortels" (the immortals). As the inscription notes, he was also the president (secretaire perpetuel) of the Academie des Sciences and sat on the bureau des longitudes, which is responsible for maintaining the weights and measures of France. Not in Koeman, Van der Krogt or Pastoureau.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Fourth. THE WARDINGTON COPY, WITH THE ADDITIONAL CHART OF NEW JERSEY. Amsterdam: Peter Goos, 1670. Fourth edition in English. Folio (20 11/6" x 13 5/16", 526mm x 339mm): binder's blank, [pi]1, A-B2, binder's blank [$1 signed; +A2]. 5 leaves, pp. [10] (title, blank, 7pp. preface, contents). With 41 double-page maps (of 40 called for in the contents) with contemporary hand-color. Bound in contemporary yapp-edged Dutch stabbed vellum with alum-tawed leather ties. Boards panelled gilt, with a gilt fleuron centerpiece. On the spine, nine gilt rolls making eight panels, each with a gilt rosette at center and gilt corner-fleurons. All edges of the text-block gilt. With the hinges starting a little. Some soiling and cockling generally, but altogether a solid binding. Repairs are noted as having been carried out by Sangorski and Sutcliffe. The title-leaf has been remounted on a stub (with some fraying at the edges of the leaf), and each chart is fully mounted on a pair of leaves. The charts have been numbered in ink manuscript in an old hand. Occasional mild toning throughout, but in general a very sound volume. A little worming to the upper margin through chart 23. Ownership signature of Harr[?] Smyth in an early hand in ink on the title-page (cancelled), A2r (cancelled) and the recto of the initial backing leaf of chart 9 (offsetting to the verso of the the final backing leaf of chart 8). Bookplate of Lord Wardington at the rear paste-down. Pieter Goos (1615-1675) was born to be the great Dutch mapmaker of the XVIIc; his father was Abraham Goos (1590-1643), himself a pioneering mapmaker. As Dutch dominance of the seas came to be indisputable with the East India Company, the golden age of Dutch cartography reached its zenith in the 1670's. Goos's Zee-Atlas ofte Water-Wereld (1666), of which the present item is the uncommon English-language edition, is commonly crowned the high-point of Dutch atlas-production. Whereas other sea-atlases teemed with permutations and repetitions, Goos's Sea-Atlas hones the crucial waterways to forty charts. The present copy, as do others, has an additional chart of New Jersey, numbered 34: "Paskaerte Van de Zuijdt en Noort Revier in Nieu Nederlant Streckende van Cabo Hinloopen tot Rechgewach." In this fourth English-language edition -- issued, of course, for the benefit of the British, despite their ongoing conflicts with the Dutch -- the charts, with the exception of the third (1669) correspond to the edition of 1668. The identity of Harr(y; Harold? Henry?) Smyth is a tantalizing mystery; the hand is early to be sure, and the repeated signatures lead one to wonder whether he owned the sheets before the book was bound. Why were two of the three signatures cancelled? Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease (1924-2005), 2nd Baron Wardington, was a book collector of great renown, building a splendid library at his Oxfordshire home, Wardington Manor. His particular interest was the very finest examples of cartography. His sale (Sotheby's London, 18 October 2005; the present item lot 178) was a landmark in the field, and its catalogue practically a reference work in its own right.

Koeman, IV, Goos 40. It is illustrated with a frontispiece and 33 very beautiful double-page maps, in contemporary coloring. The composition of the French edition completely differs from those published in English or Dutch. It includes maps of Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal and the coasts of Morocco with the Canaries. The text indicates the maritime routes to be followed and the dangers to avoid. The cartographer Pieter Goos (1615-1675) was one of Amsterdam's most esteemed booksellers who specialized in maritime works. Possessing a good reputation as a navigational map engraver, he also published atlases. His intention was more to produce sumptuous volumes intended for rich collectors rather than functional works for sailors and navigators. « Pieter Goos was one of the best known maritime booksellers of Amsterdam. This beautiful sea atlas reflects a high professional standard. The many editions published over 25 years are an indication of the customers' appreciation. Goos's sea atlas was more intended for the book-lover than for the seaman" (Koeman). "Dutch cartographer Pieter Goos (c. 1616-1675) was one of the most prominent engravers of navigational maps during the 17th century. His maps are considered some of the most beautiful of the era, a time when the Dutch dominated both shipping and cartography" (Moreland, C. & Bannister, D., 1986). The illustration is composed of a frontispiece and 33 maps finely engraved on double-page representing the coasts of all the parts of the globe. The frontispiece, the contours of the maps and the cartouches have been hand-colored at the time. Very beautiful copy complete with its 33 maps engraved on double-page and with its frontispiece in contemporary coloring, preserved in its contemporary vellum binding. Provenance: Biblioteca Lamoniana; Museum of the Citadelle Vauban, Belle-Île en mer. President in mortar at the Parliament of Paris, then Great Chancellor, Chrétien-François II de Lamoignon ended his brilliant career as Keeper of the Seals.

Provenance: Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease, Lord Wardington (1924-2005), Library of Important Atlases and Geographies, his sale Sotheby's 18th October 2005, lot 177. Fifth edition, first published in 1666, and based on Hendrick Doncker's "Zee-Atlas" of 1659, particularly for its charts, and reprinted several times without much revision. However the atlas was available with either 40 or 41 charts, the extra chart being the most desirable: "Paskaerte van de Zuydt en Noordt Revier in Nieu Nederlandt", present here. This is the first printed Dutch sea-chart to focus on the Dutch possessions in New York, showing the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam with the settlements on Manhattan, Staten Island and Long Island, south to Delaware Bay, and including the lower course of the Delaware River. The atlas also includes the celebrated chart "Paskaert van Nova Grenada, en t'Eylandt California", which is one of the two earliest Dutch printed charts to focus on the "island" of California. More of an engraver than a cartographer, Goos's atlases and pilots were designed for the armchair traveler rather than as navigational aids: Goos's prospective clients were "Heeren en Kooplieden" (gentleman and merchants) before "Schippers en Stuurlieden" (pilots and seamen). Truusje Goedings, renowned expert in Dutch colourists of the 17th-century writes of this copy: "This is a fine de-luxe coloured copy with contemporary colour and heightened with gold and silver by one hand. This colouring is executed very expertly with a keen eye for decorative effects, in rather gay combinations, with a soft and transparant, often full, variated washing of the land regions, also on the world map. In the cartouches bright and thick red is often contrasted with bright blue and a very well handled gold, the waterborders are rather heavy and dark blue, against the land- and water regions which are mostly very transparant and soft. For insets and inside framing gold is lavishly and very decoratively applied. Leadwhite has been oxidized sometimes to grey. A remarkable feature (among many others) is the colouring of the compass-roses, consequently done in pink and blue. This might be the mark of a specific colorist; I found the same, in a related and only slightly different colouring, in the copy of Goos'' Zee Atlas' preserved in the Artis Library in Amsterdam. All this makes quite certain that a model was used for the de-luxe colouring of Goos from the start, used by very expert and talented colourists" (Truusje Goedings).

Condizione: Good. Copperplate engraving with original hand colour. Language: Dutch. This sea chart, drawn and published by the prominent Amsterdam cartographer Pieter Goos, presents the southern segment of the west coast of Africa, extending from Cabo Negro (modern-day Angola-Namibia border) southward to Cabo de Bona Esperanca (Cape of Good Hope). The Pas-Kaarte van de Zinder-west-kust van Africa is among the more technically precise and regionally specific nautical charts in Goos's Zee-Atlas ofte Water-Wereld, underscoring the Dutch Republic's growing maritime interests along the southwestern coast of Africa during the second half of the 17th century. Condition: Good. Short tears to margins and some chipping to edges. Professionally repaired with Japanese tissue. Wide upper and lower margins with tape marks. Geographic Scope and Detail: The chart traces a long and largely unbroken coastline, covering key coastal features such as: The coasts of Angola and Namibia, including Benguela, Lobito, and Luanda, which were strategic ports in Dutch and Portuguese colonial rivalry. Numerous bays, headlands, shoals, and reefs, all crucial for navigation in a region known for treacherous waters. The Orange River mouth and the uncharted Namaqualand coast. Cape Agulhas and the Cape of Good Hope, marking the navigational gateway between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Place names are rendered in Dutch, often transliterated from Portuguese or local origins. Inlets and rivers are marked, though the inland regions are left empty, as was standard practice for marine charts of the time. Navigational Features: The map is crisscrossed by an intricate network of rhumb lines emanating from two compass roses, indicating wind directions for open-sea navigation. Soundings, anchorages, danger zones, and currents are recorded with notable accuracy for the period. Scale bars are included in Dutch, Spanish, and English nautical miles, aiding use by an international maritime audience. The cartographic style follows the "plane chart" projection, a simplified approach intended for practical maritime use rather than geographic accuracy.

Condizione: Good. Copperplate engraving, hand coloured. This sea chart by Pieter Goos, De Cust van Barbara, Gualata, Arguyn, en Gene, represents a detailed portion of the northwest coast of Africa, focusing on the Saharan and Mauritanian littoral. It covers the coastline from roughly Cape Bojador (Barbary Coast) southward through Gualata (Walata), Arguin, and Gene (Senegal region)an area of strategic importance to early modern European maritime powers, particularly in the context of trade with West Africa. Published in Goos's Zee-Atlas ofte Water-Wereld, a lavish maritime atlas designed for both practical and commercial use by ship captains and merchants of the Dutch Republic. It is a rare example of early cartographic attention to a region more often passed over in favour of better-known parts of the West African coast. Condition: Good. Short tears to margins and some chipping to edges almost entirely outside the platemark. Professionally repaired with Japanese tissue. Geographic Scope and Detail: Barbara refers to the Barbary Coast, encompassing parts of present-day Western Sahara and southern Morocco. Gualata (Walata) is represented in a coastal context, though the historic city lies inlandsuggesting a confusion or conflation typical of European cartography of the interior during this era. Arguin is prominently marked, including Île d'Arguin, a small island off the Mauritanian coast that was home to a series of trading posts and forts contested by the Portuguese, Dutch, and later the French. Gene likely refers to the Senegalese coast, possibly derived from a local or Portuguese form of the Senegal River. The coastline is delineated with notable attention to bays, shoals, inlets, and river mouths, though inland features are minimal or absenttypical of Dutch sea charts designed primarily for coastal navigation Navigational Features: A network of rhumb lines radiates from a central compass rose, marking the thirty-two points of navigation used by European mariners. The chart includes soundings, hazards, and anchorage points, particularly near the Arguin Bankan area notorious for its shallow waters and shipwrecks. The scale bar is rendered in Dutch, Spanish, and English nautical miles, facilitating international use. Decorative and Symbolic Elements: The title cartouche is elaborately designed with baroque flourishes and maritime iconography. It may include allegorical figures representing Africa or references to local trade, such as gold and gum arabic. A handful of Dutch ships under sail adorn the ocean, emphasising both the cartographic function and Dutch naval presence. Sea monsters or stylised marine life may appear in the open sea areas, blending early modern symbolic art with navigational caution. Historical Context: The northwest African coast was a frontier of early European-African contact. The Dutch West India Company (WIC) established brief but significant control over portions of the coast, including Arguin, in competition with the Portuguese. The region was rich in resources such as gold, slaves, salt, and gum arabic, and served as a stopping point for ships bound further south. Goos's attention to this lesser-charted region reflects the ambitions of Dutch merchants and explorers to expand into under-mapped zones of commercial interest. This map would have been a vital navigational aid for WIC vessels and other European ships operating in the region.

Both charts come from the sea atlas " Nieuwe Groote Zee-Spiegel. Several editions were printed of this part dedicated to the Mediterranean sea illustrated with 25 sea charts. These charts have cartocuhe with figures, scales,and lists of harbours and islands. Pieter Goos ( 1616-1675) was an editor of sea atlases in the middle of the XVII century. He obtained the plates from Jacobsz and printed several editions including the rare parts Iv and V related to America and Africa.His nautical atlases were sometimes included with the Blaeu´s Atlas Novus and Atlas Mayor.

No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. This beautifully engraved chart was published in Zee Atlas, the comprehensive pilot book produced by well-known Amsterdam publisher Abraham Goos. It is centered on Southeast Asia with parts of Australia, extending to an area from east India and Cape Comorin to Japan and Korea. It is oriented with east at the top, and divided by three prominent vertical lines marking the Tropic of Cancer (≈23°N), the equator (0°), and the Tropic of Capricorn (≈23°S). This chart stands out among 17th century maps of Southeast Asia for its importance and quality, attested to by the fact that it was copied by both John Seller and Frederick de Wit. Furthermore, the de Wit plates were later acquired and re-struck by both Louis Renard and R. & J. Ottens. Southeast Asia in the 17th century was marked by the rise of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), formed in 1602 when several Dutch firms competing for the Indies trade were consolidated into a single global corporate power. This chart represents the advanced cartographic knowledge known to Dutch VOC vessels, three of which adorn the map, sailing the waters of the Indian Ocean. For its part, the VOC sponsored the influential exploratory voyages of Abel Tasman, the first known European explorer to reach the islands of Van Diemen s Land (now Tasmania) and New Zealand, and to sight the Fiji islands. The unfinished Australia on our chart (labeled Nova Hollandia) is based on information compiled during Abel Tasman s second voyage of 1644. Setting out from Batavia on 30 January, 1644, Tasman and his crew sailed along the south coast of New Guinea with the goal of mapping eastern Australia. For some reason, he turned back before the Torres Straights, and instead mapped the north coast of Australia, starting with the Gulf of Carpentaria, shown in detail on Goos s chart. As for New Guinea itself, many of the place names are linked to one of the most famous 16th century voyages of exploration, that of a rival to the VOC, the Jacob Le Maire/Willem Schouten expedition of 1615-6. Financed by Jacob s father Issac, a former VOC shareholder who left the company in disgrace, this expedition had two main objectives: to search for Terra Australis, the immense continent thought to exist somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere, and to break the VOC monopoly on the western trade route to the East Indies. With Schouten as the main navigator, the expedition reached the north coast of New Guinea in 1616, en route to the Moluccas and Java. As seen on our map, many of the places names given by Le Maire and Schouten were chosen to commemorate places or people. This includes the personal eponym Willem Schouten Eylandt (Biak Island, modern-day Indonesia), as well as the coastal designation of a C. van goede hoop (Cape of Good Hope), meant to celebrate the approaching end of the expedition. However, adjacent to Willem Schouten Eylandt, are two small islands with indigenous place names: Moa and Arimoa. These represent today s modern Insumoar in the Wakde Islands (site of a WWII Japanese air base that was captured by the Americans), and Nirumoar, in the Kumamba Islands. Overall, an exceptional display of Dutch mapmaking.

Printed on vellum (ca. 80 x 98 cm) from one large copperplate engraving, partly coloured by a contemporary hand. The "West-Indische Paskaert" engraved by Pieter Goos, in its rare first state, a nautical chart prepared for the Dutch West India Company (WIC) as an aid to crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the trading regions of the Americas and visiting trading posts in Africa. It shows parts of the east coast of North America, both coasts of South America, Mediterranean Europe and the west coast of Africa. Many "West-Indische Paskaerten", as these navigational charts were called, were reprinted over and over from new states of the copperplates. For more than a century Dutch and foreign seafarers profited from their use on transatlantic journeys. The great cartographer Willem Jansz. Blaeu (1571-1638) published the first "West-Indische Paskaert" around 1630 using manuscript charts and other documents of the Atlantic and its coasts, including information provided by the Dutch WIC navigators who sailed these routes. Being one of the first practical uses of the Mercator projection, Blaeu's small-scale nautical chart was the first useful chart for crossing the Atlantic Ocean, making it easier to plot a straight line course for long distances on one map. Around 1660 Pieter Goos engraved four large navigation charts on new copperplates, including the plate for his present "West-Indische Paskaert". The present copy shows the plate in its first state, the only copperplate that Goos actually engraved himself. - Pieter Goos (ca. 1616-75) was a Dutch cartographer, engraver and printer and publisher of maps and atlases, whose father Abraham Goos (ca. 1590-1643) published many globes and maps together with Jodocus Hondius and Johannes Janssonius. He was especially known for his sea charts and his "Zee-atlas ofte water-wereld" (first edition 1666), one of the best maritime atlases of its time. Goos's "West-Indische Paskaert" in its present first state is of the utmost rarity: 8 other copies are known, of which only 4 on vellum. - The "West-Indische Paskaert" remained one of the Dutch West India Company's most important nautical charts for decades, with several important map printers and publishers producing editions from various plates that went through numerous states. The present nautical chart therefore not only bears beautiful witness to the golden age of Dutch maritime history, exploration and cartography; it is also a very rare vellum copy showing the first state of the copperplate engraved by Goos himself. The map has been professionally restored, with the tears along the edges repaired and the brittle parts reinforced with Japanese paper, and the map is mounted on museum-quality preservation corrugated board which in turn is mounted on museum-quality honeycomb board. Somewhat faded, with a water stain in the left part, some smaller stains, the foot a little frayed (hardly affecting the map) and a little dust-soiled, but overall in good condition. - Burden II, 442 (misdated ca. 1674); Schilder & Kok, Goos 4.1 (8 copies, incl. 2 on paper, 1 missing, 1 incomplete); cf Schilder, Monumenta, 63 (other states), 63.4 (the 1675 Blaeu-Goos state); for the use of nautical charts: Koeman, "17e eeuwse Hollandse bijdragen in de kartering van de Amerikaanse kusten", in: Caert thresoor 1 (1982), pp. 50-51; Schilder & Van Egmond, "Maritime cartography in the Low Countries during the Renaissance", in: The history of cartography, volume 3: cartography in the European Renaissance (2007), pp. 1425-1426.

A rare Mediterranean 'Straights Book' Folio atlas (460 by 290mm), title, 24 double-page engraved charts, and one full-page chart, contemporary speckled calf, with fillet border, spine in six compartments separated by raised bands, rubbed. The third book ('Straets-boeck') of Pieter Goos's 'Lighting Colom' ('Zeespiegel'), which details the Mediterranean navigation. This 'Straets-boeck' or 'Straights Book', so named after the Straits of Gibraltar was first published by Goos with Dutch text in 1662 and, in that same year, with a different title page as part III of the 'Zee-Spieghel'. The charts in the work were newly engraved by Goos, but the text was borrowed from Jacobsz Lootsman's 'Straets-boeck' of 1648. In the contents the author explains the differences between the handling of the compass by the Dutch and Italians, and that the information in this work is adapted to Dutch use. He also explains why the charts have no degrees of latitude, as well as the use of the backstaff. The list with "The height of Som Places in the Midle-land Sea" contains additions and corrections in manuscript. Rare. We are only able to trace one example the present copy coming up for sale in the past 35 years. Koeman, IV, Goos 45; Wing, C-5403dA.
