About this Item
Extremely rare sea chart of the Mediterranean sea published separately by Hendrik de Leth and included in very few Dutch composite atlases. Large cartouche, scales, rhumb lines and two insets with explanatory text with a list of harbours in western and eastern Mediterranean.The chart with beautiful hand color.Hendrik de Leth (1703-66) was most probably the son of Andries de Leth. He was engraver, publisher and painter active in Amsterdam.He worked for the Visscher family and worked together sometimes with Leonard Schenck.De Leth published some pocket atlases and one historical atlas of the Netherlands. The large size maps like this one are considered a rarity so nowadays very few copies remain in private hands or institutional collections worldwide. Ref: C.
