Description:
This Dutch chart of the North Sea by Jacob Robijn was printed in 1683 and included in his 'Zee Atlas'. It is typical of the charts being produced in Amsterdam at that time, with fine engraving, ornate title cartouche (in this case depicting the fishing trade), rhomb lines and decorative ships. Contemporary hand colouring around the coasts enhances and clarifies the map making it easier to use. The radiating rhumb lines show the construction of the map with angles from a particular point being used for triangulation.
