Synopsis "Sailing Across the World's Oceans: History & Catalogue of Dutch Charts Printed on Vellum 1580-1725"

Maps printed by commercial Amsterdam charts publishers between the sixteenth and the eighteenth century are spread all around the world. This illustrated cartobibligraphy describes and analyses about 150 charts, mostly found in international institutions. With over 800 full colour illustrations, many full page, it offers an overview of maps from Europe to the Indian and the Atlantic Ocean, the latter commonly called 'West-Indische Paskaerten'. The first part of the book contains six chapters that investigate the development of Amsterdam as a recognized centre for map production and distribution in Europe. It also discusses navigation techniques used in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the developing world image. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) manuscript charts on vellum are discussed in Sailing for the East (ESHC 10, 2010).
