Author: Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer
Publisher: American Elsevier Publishing Company
Printing Year: 1964 Reproduction of the 1584 Illumined Original
Details/Condition: Luxuriously bound in its original jade cloth boards with ½ leather binding and gilt embossing, this rare folio text is a tastefully rendered facsimile copy of Waghenaer’s original work. Lucas Lanszoon Waghenaer (1534 - 1598), was a Dutch pilot who revolutionized map-making by mass producing high quality charts and navigational notes in 1583.
By the third quarter of the sixteenth century an ever increasing volume of the wealth of the New World and the Indies was reaching Lisbon and the Spanish ports, there to be trans-shipped to Northern and Western Europe. This trade was almost entirely in the hands of the Dutch so it was logical that one of their pilots should produce the first set of effective navigational charts. These were compiled under the title Spiegel der Zeevaerdt, [Leyden, 1584; Latin: Amsterdam, 1591] by Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer, a native of Enkhuizen on the Zuider Zee, an experienced seaman and pilot. His magnificently produced charts embodying all the latest contemporary knowledge of navigation and position-finding set a standard which was followed by others for the next century or more - indeed, some of the symbols employed are still in use today. The charts in the first edition, covering the coast lines from Holland to Spain and the North Sea and Baltic, were engraved by the van Doetecum brothers and printed by Plantin: those in the English edition, which was translated by Sir Anthony Ashley and issued in 1588 - the year of the Armada - were engraved by de Bry, Hondius, Rutlinger and Ryther….Place names are given on the coasts but comparatively few are shown inland; cliffs on the coastline are drawn in elevation; navigational landmarks and hazards, anchorages, soundings and tidal details are indicated and the scale is shown in English, Spanish and Dutch leagues. Altogether some of the most handsome maps ever produced. The charts became so universally popular that their name, anglicized to ‘Waggoner’, came into use in English as a generic term for sea charts of all kinds." (from The Diary of Samuel Pepys)
