Description:
Published in the 'Zee Atlas' by Jacob Robijn in about 1683 this chart shows Ireland and the west coast of Britain including the Western Isles and Orkney. Soundings show the depth in fathoms, although this information only appears along the most frequented trade routes, i.e. the English Channel and the Bristol Channel, where it would be collected by sailors and passed on to the cartographers for use in compiling their next chart of the area. Coats of arms are depicted in the centre of each country, following a common style of the time. These are hand coloured, as are the coastal outlines. The map also has rhumb lines, and a small central compass rose.
