Description
Etching and engraving, 425x520 mm, signed in the cartouche center below: Tot Amsterdam. By Hendrick Donker inde Nieubrug: steedg.
Beautiful example with magnificent old colouring. Very rare edition.
Second state of the nautical chart based on the 1621 W. J. Blaeu’ pilot book, reduced to in folio format; the date An°. 1665 in the cartouche that is abraded.
The map is for the first time included in the 1665 edition of the Zee-Atlas of Water-Waerelt - one of the four maps added to the original corpus of 27 nautical tables - printed with imprint t'Amsterdam By Hendrick Donker, Boeckverkooper, en Graat-boog-maker, in de Nieuwe-brug-streegh, in 't Stuurmans Gereetschap
The Zee-Atlas of Water-Waerelt was reprinted in many editions and languages, increased and updated. The map of the Europe remains unchanged - with the date An °. 1665 - until 1705, when Hendrick Donker jr. inserts it, deleting the date, in the De Nieuwe Groote Vermeerdere Zee-Atlas ofte Water-Werelt Vertoonende at the de Zee-Kunsten des Aerdtrycks, Seer dienstigh voor Schippers, Stuur-lieden en Liefhebbers der groote Zee-vaert.

Hendrick II Donker (1664 ca. - 1739)
|
For about fifty years Hendrick Doncker ran a flourishing business in Amsterdam as a bookseller and publisher of sea atlases and textbooks on navigation.
In a period when so many maps and charts were simply copied from other publishers, Doncker's charts were his own work and were noted for their accuracy and constant improvement.
Apart from this work, he cooperated for many years with Pieter Goos and Anthonie Jacobsz in producing a pilot guide De Zeespiegel. Eventually his stock was sold to Johannes van Keulen.
