Goos, Pieter, ca. 1616-1675 · 1672 · Amsteldam : P. Goos · 44 pictures

A Dutch sea atlas engraved and published by Pieter Goos in Amsterdam in 1672, sold to merchants, shipmasters and pilots as working navigational charts. The 45 plates combine hand-coloured coastlines and soundings with dense rhumb-line webs, multiple compass roses, sailing ships, and cartouches held by mermaids, tritons and putti — useful for line texture, ornamental frames and maritime figure work.
