EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coloured engraving from 1661 showcases a detailed Chart of the North Sea and Dutch coast, providing a glimpse into maritime navigation during the 17th century. Measuring at 42x52 cm, this piece is part of the collection at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK.
Created by Mount & Page and bound in 'De Zee-Atlas ofte Water-wareld', published by Doncker in 1661, this map offers a historical perspective on cartography and coastal geography. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the skill and artistry of the unknown British School artist from the 17th century.
The vibrant colours used to bring this chart to life add an element of visual appeal to an otherwise technical representation. The coastlines, shorelines, and sea are depicted with precision, showcasing not only navigational accuracy but also artistic flair.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost imagine sailors using similar maps to guide their ships through treacherous waters towards safe harbours along the Dutch coast. This piece serves as a reminder of our rich maritime history and the importance of accurate cartography in exploring new horizons.
