EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautifully detailed coloured engraving from 1675, titled 'A new mappe of the sea coasts of England, France and Holland', offers a fascinating glimpse into maritime cartography during the 17th century. Created by John Seller, who served as Hydrographer to King Charles II, this chart is part of his 'Atlas Maritimus', or the Sea Atlas.
The map provides English names, compass points, distances, and other essential information for ports, harbours, havens, creeks, and sands along the coastlines of England, France and Holland. The borders are graduated for latitude and there are bar scales in English, French and Dutch miles.
Intricate decorative elements adorn the cartouches throughout the map - including a dedication to James Duke of York with his arms displayed prominently. Surveying putti add a whimsical touch to the title and scale cartouches.
This historical print not only serves as a valuable navigational tool but also showcases the artistry involved in early modern cartography. It transports viewers back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. A true masterpiece that captures both practicality and beauty in one stunning image.
