Hardcover. Condition: VG+. First Sea Atlas of North America, The Spanish Main & Part of South America Fine example of the first Sea Atlas of North America, offered here with the imprint of Jacobus Robijn shortly after his acquisition of the at. Folio (450 x 280 cm). Seventeenth-century Spanish pig skin. Title, privilege, [2]…p. description of the earth, 67pp., 34 engraved charts (all double-page apart from the chart of Catalina). First Sea Atlas of North America, The Spanish Main & Part of South America Fine example of the first Sea Atlas of North America, offered here with the imprint of Jacobus Robijn shortly after his acquisition of the atlas. Arent Roggeveen published the first sea atlas of American coasts, a work drawn largely from the secreted nautical charts of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and Dutch West India Company (WIC). Extending from the Canadian Maritimes, East Coast of North America, Gulf of Mexico and the Dutch "West Indies", a term then interpreted much more broadly than today, including not only the entire Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and Central America, Roggeveen's atlas was a work of monumental importance, treating in fine detail regions which had previously only received broad and relatively cursory regional coverage in the prior sea atlases of Dudley, Goos, Donckers, and Van Keulen. Arent Roggeveen (c.1628-1779) first came to notice in Middelburg as a teacher in 1658. Trained in mathematics and land-surveying, and with an interest in astronomy, he undertook the study of navigation. Middelburg was an important center for both the VOC and WIC, and many of Roggeveen's students worked in the two companies. Around 1670, the Middelburg VOC administrators asked Roggeveen to secretly draw nautical charts for them as a surveyor. In 1668, with the encouragement of the Middelburg WIC Chamber, Roggeveen decided to undertake his own work on Atlantic navigation, rather than wait for Blaeu or other Amsterdam mapmakers. Using his connection as gained access to the VOC's trove of Spanish and Portugese manuscript sea charts that the companies had captured, copied by espionage, or commissioned (some American place names in Roggeveen's atlas still retain their Spanish forms). These stores of charts had been closely guarded national secrets during the Dutch war of independence from Spain and were still closely guarded, as it gave the Dutch merchants of the VOC and WIC an important commercial advantage. This access gave Roggeveen a remarkable cache of unpublished material to produce more accurate and more detailed sea charts than had ever been published before. The first edition of Roggeveen's atlas was published in 1675 by Pieter Goos. A second edition was published until 1680, by which time the plates had been acquired by the chart dealer Jacobus Robijn. Robijn went on to republish the a third edition in 1689, with a fourth edition in 1698. The atlas was relatively successful, with editions published with Dutch, English, French and Spanish text. Rarity We are unable to trace an institutional example of this edition, with the date of 1690 on the title page. Koeman records six institutional examples of the 1680 Spanish edition. This would seem to be the only surviving example to bear the imprint of Robijn. Book.

Contact seller5-star sellerEngraving with contemporary hand-coloring on thick laid paper. The rare first sea chart from the Carolinas to Florida, here in a stunning hand-colored example. First state of Roggveen's rare sea chart of the Southeasten Coast of North America, the first sea chart to focus on the region and one of great importrance, showing the r…egion through which the majority of Spain's treasure ships from the New World sailed. This map is based on Dutch East India Company sources, and draws heavily on Hessel Gerritsz's rare sea chart of 1631, which survives in only 3 known examples. The map also likely reflects a manuscript chart by Johannes Vingboons. But the place-names and most of the cartographic details derive from Spanish sources. The map appear in Roggeveen's so-called "Burning Fen," described by Koeman as "the most interesting of all maritime works produced by Pieter Goos." Roggeveen, born in Delshaven, came to Middleburg, the seat of both Dutch East and West India Companies, in 1658. He worked for both companies teaching the art of navigation and helped to maintain their collections of hydrographic manuscripts and charts, including Spanish portolans of the West Indies. In the mid-1660s, asssisted by his access to these collections, Roggeveen embarked upon compiling a series of large-scale charts of the North American coastline, West Indies, and later West Africa. Many of his charts are based on the earlier work of Hessel Gerritsz and Johannes Vingboons, both cartographers for the Dutch East and West India Companies, but Roggeveen's work as the first to show the whole coastline of North America and the Caribbean. He called this pilot "Het Brandende Veen" or "the Burning Fen," a pun on his name, as "veen" means "fen," and a heap of burning fen represents a fire on the coast to guide or warn ships. The atlases were intended for use at sea, so few complete examples survive. Working sea charts and pilots from the 17th century are inherently rare due to the nature of their use. The vast majority were either destroyed by use or destroyed intentionally when updated versions were obtained. Burden 452, first state. Cumming, Southeast 74 Koeman IV, Rog.1 (26) Lowery 162.

Unrecorded Spanish edition of the First Sea Atlas of America Folio (450 by 280mm), title, privilege, [2]p. description of the earth, 67pp., 34 engraved charts (all double-page apart from the chart of Catalina), seventeenth century Spanish pig skin. One of the most important maritime atlases of the Dutch Golden Age. Roggeveen's w…ork is the first maritime atlas of the American coasts, and was based largely on the closely guarded collection of mostly Iberian manuscript nautical charts owned by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and West India Company (WIC). It covers what it calls the West Indies, a term then interpreted much more broadly than today, including not only the entire Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and Central America, but also part of South America and the entire east coast of what is now the United States and southern Canada. Arent Roggeveen (c.1628-1779) was born in Delfshaven, and came to Middelburg as a teacher in 1658. Familiar with mathematics and land-surveying and interested in astronomy, he quickly learned the arts of navigation. Middelburg boasted one of the most important chambers of both the VOC and WIC, therefore many of Roggeveen's students worked in the two companies. Through these connections he apparently gained access to the large collection of mostly Iberian manuscript sea charts that the companies had captured, copied by espionage, or commissioned (some American place names in Roggeveen's atlas still retain their Spanish forms). This collection had been closely guarded as a matter of national security during the Dutch war of independence from Spain. Even after 1648 it was still considered sensitive material, as it gave the Dutch merchants of the VOC and WIC an important commercial advantage. While some atlases largely copied maps from their predecessors, Roggeveen could therefore draw on this cartographic treasure trove to produce more accurate and more detailed sea charts than had ever been published before. The first edition of the atlas was published in 1675 by Pieter Goos, however, due to the death of Goos in the same year, and that of Roggeveen four years later, a second edition would not be published until 1680, by which time the plates had been acquired by the chart dealer Jacobus Robijn. Robijn went on to republish the second edition in 1689, with a third edition appearing in 1698. As well as Dutch the pilot also appeared with English, French, and - as with the present edition - Spanish text. We are unable to trace an institutional example of this edition. Koeman records six institutional examples of the 1680 Spanish edition. The charts and text would appear to be unchanged from the 1680 edition: with all the charts in their first state; the chart of Catalina is in its proof state; chart No. 7 bears revision to Curaçao plate; whilst the chart of Curaçao [No.7 1/2] bears no number. The only revision to the 1680 edition is the inclusion of a new title-page and privilege in which Roggeveen's name has been omitted and Jacob Robijn inserted in its place. c.f.

This first large scale printed chart of Brazil and the Amazon Double-page engraved chart with fine hand-colour in part and in outline. Roggeveen's rare large scale chart of the Amazonian delta - published in Roggeveen's exceedingly rare sea pilot 'Het Brandende Veen'. This map shows the northern end of the Amazonian delta which…empties out into the Atlantic to the lower leftmost corner, with the "Linea Aequinoetialis", or equator, clearly delineated. The coastal outline progresses into Brazil's northeastern coast in the Brazilian state of Amapa, whose River Oyapock (identified as "Rio Warypoco" in this map) marks the border between Brazil and French Guyana. Amapa was an historical administrative division of the former Portuguese colonial empires, who warded off English and Dutch invaders. Roggeveen, born in Delshaven, came to Middleburg, the seat of both the Dutch East and West India Companies, in 1658. He worked for both companies teaching the art of navigation and helped to maintain their collections of hydrographic manuscripts and charts, including Spanish portolans of the West Indies.

Carolina First state. Double-page engraved chart, with fine hand-colour in part and in outline. Large-scale sea chart of the Carolina coast - published in Roggeveen's exceedingly rare sea pilot 'Het Brandende Veen'. In 1687 Robijn replaced the earlier chart of the south-east with this one. It is interestingly derived from Johann…es van Keulen's 'Pas Kaart Van de Kust van Carolina,' 1684, the publisher whom he had been working with in 1679. Robijn rotates the projection to a north-south one and in the process eliminates the south portion of Chesapeake Bay. The coastline is virtually identical but nomenclature does vary. One notable new addition is B de S. Anna and a sand bar is also placed at C Faire. The position of Charles Town is still on the south bank of the Rio Grande, a position from which it relocated in 1680.
