(Werken uitgegegeven door de Linschoten-Vereeniging, 49).The voyage of discovery of Jacob le Maire and Willem Cornelisz. Schouten (1615-1617) was a daring expedition that discovered a new sea route to the Pacific Ocean via Cape Horn. Their discovery of the Le Maire Strait and the Southern Passage bypassed the VOC's trade monopoly. They sailed aboard the ships 'Eendracht' and 'Hoorn' under the auspices of Isaac le Maire, Jacob's father. Despite the legal conflict with the VOC upon their return, the discovery remained crucial for the world map. Their experiences are recorded in detailed journals, which were later published and annotated, including in this edition.

Lugduni Batavorum [i.e. Leiden] : Jodocus Hondius for Nicolaus van Geelkercken, 1619. Small oblong quarto (190 x 250 mm), contemporary limp vellum with early manuscript title and collection number to spine; title with large engraved vignette (early ownership signature to upper margin); pp. [4 blank], 175, [5 blank]; with a folding engraved world map and a further 24 engraved maps, plans and views (including 2 folding maps, 2 double-page maps, one folding view and one double-page view); one preliminary leaf chipped at fore-edge, a few of the plates browned, otherwise sound and clean throughout, a good example; housed in a custom clamshell box of half morocco over marbled papered boards and cloth, spine lettered and decorated in gilt. One of the most significant illustrated travel books of the early 1600s. Spilbergen and Le Maire's "The East and West IndianMirror", which combines two circumnavigation narratives, was first published in Leiden in 1619 in simultaneous Dutch and Latin editions. A second issue of each edition was printed in the same year.This is the first Latin edition, second issue (the same as the first issue in every respect but with the name of Hondius added to the imprint on the title). All of the 1619 editions, both Dutch and Latin, were issued with the same plates. In 1614 Joris van Spilbergen's Dutch East India Company flotilla, comprised of six ships, set out for the Moluccas with the intention of reaching the East Indies via the Strait of Magellan and crossing the Pacific from east to west. The expedition sailed first to Brazil, then through the Strait of Magellan and northwards along the coasts of Chile and Peru, as far as California. Its vessels were armed and carried out attacks on Spanish settlements and shipping en route. Spilbergen then sailed for the Philippines, where he arrived at the start of February 1616 and carried out attacks on Manila-bound shipping for almost a month. The section of the account that deals with the Philippines occupies pp. 84-93 and is illustrated with a superb double-page map of the Manila Strait and a full-page woodcut of ships outside the port of Manila. Both of these plates have a key with points of interest and explanations given in the main text. Spilbergen's ships then sailed on by way of Ternate to Batavia.There he failed to locate a Spanish fleet rumoured to be planning attacks against Dutch interests in the Moluccas. Instead, he encountered Le Maire and Schouten, who had recently arrived from their Pacific crossing on behalf of the Compagnie Australe only to be arrested for breaching the VOC monopoly on the Strait of Magellan passage. Spilbergen was responsible for conducting Le Maire, Schouten and their men back to the Netherlands (although Le Maire died on the voyage).

First Edition. Oblong 4to, pp.175, [1 (blank)], including blank leaf P4; with 2 folding maps and 23 plates (5 folding), large engraved vignette to title; some staining to title, strengthened at inner margin to recto and verso, some creasing to first folding map, both maps with repairs to verso, occasional marks, some dampstaining to upper margins at end; overall good in nineteenth-century half sheep over marbled boards, gilt lettering-piece to spine; both boards detached (the upper board with endpapers and title-page attached), some wear to spine and corners; 'Library Board of Trade' stamp to title, a few recent notes to front pastedown.First Latin edition of one of the classic Dutch illustrated voyages, identical in format and illustration to the same publisher's Dutch-language edition of the same year. 'All first editions in oblong format are rare and much sought after' (Borba de Moraes, p.828). The maps include the Straits of Magellan, Le Maire's route (showing the strait he discovered round the east of Tierra del Fuego and which is named after him), and the East Indies. The world map shows the routes of both Spilbergen and Le Maire and, in a rectangular panel at the bottom, Le Maire's discoveries along the northern coast of New Guinea (Shirley 304). Among the plates are portrayals of battle-scenes, various ports on the Pacific coast of Spanish America as far north as Acapulco, Manila Bay, and various harbours and islands in the western Pacific and Indonesia.The Speculum orientalis occidentalisque Indiae the 'East and West Indian mirror' narrates two highly important Dutch expeditions to the East Indies via South America and across the Pacific. The first, a powerful East India Company (VOC) fleet under the command of Spilbergen, was essentially predatory, raiding Spanish shipping and settlements; it also aimed to assert the VOC's exclusive passage to the Pacific through the Strait of Magellan, countering challenges by its Dutch rivals. After clearing the Strait, Spilbergen's fleet worked its way up the South American coast, sacking Spanish settlements and attacking Spanish shipping, until it reached Acapulco. It then crossed the Pacific to the Philippines and Ternate, where it hoped to intercept the Spanish force rumoured to be about to descend on the Dutch outposts in the Moluccas. Finally, Spilbergen headed for Batavia, where he encountered Jacob Le Maire and Willem Corneliszoon Schouten, whose expedition is the other voyage recounted in this volume. Their papers, ship (the Eendracht) and crew were immediately seized by the VOC, which saw this independent venture as a serious infringement of its monopoly, and Le Maire and Schouten were taken back to the Netherlands with Spilbergen. Spilbergen's expedition was not intended to be one of 'discovery', but it nevertheless stands out as being exceptionally well-managed, the fifth circumnavigation of the globe, and 'the first to sail half-way round the world with a whole fleet well in hand' (SpateII, p.21).Jacob Le Maire and Schouten had been sent by the Australische Compagnie, formed by Isaac Le Maire (Jacob's father), to discover a new passage to the Pacific south of the Strait of Magellan, thereby circumventing the VOC's exclusive rights, and to trade in any lands they discovered in the South Pacific hopes of finding the southern continent promised in Quiros's memorials were high. They were successful in their first objective, sailing to the Le Maire Strait, which separates Tierra del Fuego from Staten Island, and into the Pacific round Cape Horn (named after Hoorn, their home base), but the southern continent proved elusive. Although commercially motivated, their expedition may be considered as 'the one genuine voyage of Oceanic exploration between Quiros and Tasman' (ibid., p.23). Le Maire died at sea on the way home with Spilbergen, but after several years' litigation his father successfully sued the VOC for the return of his son's journal and was awarded damages.STCN 06262928X; US.

Circular blindstamp of Antonio Santamaria on the last of the front blanks. A Handsome Example of the First and Only French Edition of one of the Great Illustrated Works of 17th-Century World Exploration. "This French edition is much sought after. The text of Le Maire's journal is much more complete than that in the Latin edition of 1619" (Borba de Moraes). This important work covers the circumnavigations of Joris van Spilbergen from 1614 to 1618, and, in the latter half of the book, those of Jacob Le Maire and Willem Coneliszoon Schouten from 1615 to 1617. It is profusely illustrated with engraved plates, many of which are cartographic or generally topographical, as well as many of ethnographic and natural historical interest. Le Maire and Schouten were aboard the vessel Eendracht when it passed through the strait between Tierra del Fuego and Isla de los Estados, establishing that Tierra del Fuego was not connected to the theorized Great Southern Continent (now known as Antarctica). Their voyage westward into the Pacific was a revelation for the Dutch, as it proved that accessing the Spice Islands from the "southwest" route was practicable. While other navigators had successfully sailed into the Pacific many times before, their voyage along a new route carried a different import, as it directly threatened the VOC's monopoly on the East Indies trade. Upon their appearance in Batavia, the center of the Dutch East Indies, they were arrested and the Eendracht was seized. Eventually, they were released and resumed their journey with Joris van Spilbergen who was circumnavigating the globe using the traditional Strait of Magellan. Le Maire sailed aboard Spilbergen's ship Amsterdam but died before reaching home. Spilbergen transcribed Le Maire's account of the first part of the voyage from the former's deathbed, and he included it in the present work. The confiscation of the Eendracht was challenged by Jacob Le Maire's father Isaac, who was eventually successful in his suit in 1622. Shirley (304) says of the world map at the front of the book: This world map, considerably larger than that in Schouten's narrative, depicts the separate outwards voyages of Joris and Jacob Le Maire and the return route of Spilbergen from the East Indies during which the young Le Maire's death occurred. Rather curiously, Spilbergen's return voyage is shown terminating in England rather than in the Netherlands. A rectangular panel at the bottom describes in detail Le Maire's discoveries along the northern coast of New Guinea. Spilbergen's map is on an oval projection which exaggerates the eastwest (and even southerly) line of the Pacific coast of North America. Near Hudson's Bay is the phrase in English (taken from the Hondius world map of 1617) 'The bay wher Hitson did winter'. The publisher of the 1619 edition was Nicolaes van Geelkercken who may ha.
