BLAEU, Willem : De Cust van Engelandt tusschen de Singels en de Drooghten van Weembrugh

260 x 360 mm., with some light age-toning, some text show through from the verso, small rust hole expertly repaired, one or two minor marginal nicks, otherwise a good example.

Willem Jansz. Blaeu is one of the greatest Dutch cartographers of all time. It is little known that he began his atlas productions by publishing sea atlases. His first work was the Het Licht der Zee-Vaert, 1608. Jan Jansson entered the market in 1620 by publishing a rival atlas and in response Blaeu published the Zeespiegel or The Sea – Beacon, in 1623. It was a greatly expanded atlas with maps at a larger scale than before. A rare chart of the south coast from the Zeespiegel or The Sea – Beacon, depicting the Sussex coast between Arundel and Rye just extending to Romney. Koeman (1967-70) IV M.Bl 28 no. 70.
