Description:
|
Jacob Robijn produced this map of the North Sea in about 1683 and collected it with other charts in his 'Zee Atlas'. Used for navigation it includes anchorages, ports and depth information. The outlines are hand coloured, and it has a decorative title cartouche showing woodcutters. The Dutch were leading cartographers at this time and also had large merchant and naval fleets so they produced many sea charts, with up-to-date information. Areas less frequented by Dutch shipping are often more sketchily presented, with headlands being of chief interest; in this case note how generalised Shetland is in comparison with the north coast of Holland. Only coastal places are named, and these are engraved inland to leave room for information concerning sailing conditions around the coast.
