ORIGINAL

This is a later version of a European sea chart that was originally published in 1675. This version differs in only showing the British crest and showing more detailed political boundaries on the main land. The title cartouche in the center is lavishly surrounded by cherubs and navigational instruments. The top right contains a mileage scale in Dutch, Spanish and English. The bottom right contains a Germanic miles scale, the bottom left a mileage scale comparing Spanish and Dutch. At the left edge is an interior map of the coastal area of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The European coastline is lined with many place names. Northeast of Iceland is a beautiful compass rose. Frederick de Wit (1630-1706) was one of the most prolific Dutch cartographers of the second half of the 17th Century. Since 1648 he worked as an engraver in Amsterdam, and was a publisher from 1659. Most of his maps were published as single sheets or shown in published atlases.
