Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer (c.1553-1606) was one of many Dutchmen who sailed the trading waters from Holland as far afield as Spain and the Baltic Sea. He retired from the sea in 1579 and began production of charts using the knowledge he had gained. Part one of the Spieghel der Zeevaerdt was published to critical acclaim in 1583, the second part followed in 1585. They are the first modern published sea charts and were engraved by the van Deutecom brothers. They were both functional and of great artistic merit. A superb decorative sea chart of the south coast of England from Plymouth in Devon displaying Derthmouth (Dartmouth), Excester (Exeter), Weijmouth and Dorcester in Dorset. Published in the De Spieghel der Zeevaerdt. The first printed chart of the area in its third state with the addition of a Latin title and page number. Decorated with sea monsters, a magnificent compass rose and a sailing ship. Koeman (1967-70) IV p. 474 no. 21c.
