Leaf has been adhered at corners to another sheet. Trimmed at border line with some minor edge wear and soiling. Beautiful illustration and most suitable for framing.

The frontispiece is a match at all points, though trimmed and uncolored [the Christie?s copy full and in color]. ?The most complete sea-atlas by the Van Keulens, composed of nearly all the charts published up to the date 1709? [-Koeman].?The firm of van Keulen, active continuously from 1678 to 1885, was the largest private hydrographic chart-publishing agency in the world. Three generations of the family were active during the period when Amsterdam was at its height as a mercantile and shipping power. As a by-product of this, Amsterdam became the leading European centre of marine cartography, densely populated with the best chart-makers and publishers. Pre-eminent among these firms were the van Keulens who produced ?the largest and finest marine atlases in Holland? (Koeman). ?Johannes van Keulen (1654-1711) was the founder of the firm, enrolling in the booksellers? guild in Amsterdam in 1678. In 1680 he published the first part of his Zee-Atlas, by which the reputation of the firm was established. Although the family business was closely tied to maritime publications, Johannes himself was not a chart-maker, but simply an interested publisher. He was fortunate that, from the outset, he employed the skilled surveyor Claes Janszoon Vooght, who actually prepared the charts and also wrote the text. Over the years the Zee-Atlas was expanded to five parts, and it continued in print, in one form or another, until 1734. More ambitious, and with a far longer and more complicated history, was his pilot book, the Zee-Fakkel, which was first published in 1681-82, and continued in print to about 1800. The family also published books on every aspect of geography, navigation and nautical matters. Johannes?s son Gerard (c. 1678-1727) gradually succeeded him from about 1704. In contrast to his father, Gerard was a talented engraver, mathematician, and chart-maker, whose abilities were recognised when he was appointed Hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company in 1714. Under his guidance, the Zee-Atlas and Zee-Fakkel were greatly revised and improved, and many new charts introduced. After Gerard?s relatively early death in 1727, he was succeeded by his widow and later by his son Johannes II who is known in particular for publishing the sixth volume of the Zee-Fakkel ? this volume contained the previously secret cartography of the East India Archipelago.?

Copper engraving, contemporary guard mounted to centrefold verso (Very Good, clean and attractive, just some stains in blank margins), 53 x 65 cm (21 x 25.5 inches). One of the rarest and most attractive of the great historical sea charts of Havana Harbour, and one which grants a fine rendering of the cityscape of what was then the New World s most sophisticated metropolis; first published in the mid-18th century by the eminent Amsterdam cartographer Johannes Van Keulen II, but here with the plate re-employed around 1780 by his son, Gerard Hulst van Keulen, the last major principal of the legendary Van Keulen publishing dynasty. - This very rare chart of Havana Harbour was first issued by Johannes van Keulen, the scion of the legendary Amsterdam chairmaking dynasty, around 1750, and was reissued (without changes to the plate) about three decades later by his son, Gerard Hulst van Keulen. One of the most attractive of historical charts of the subject, it provides a fine rendering of the city of Havana proper. Havana s stellar natural harbour is shown to expand into a great basin beyond its narrow mouth, which connect it to the Straits of Florida. The waters feature numerous bathymetric soundings, while the great walled city occupies the peninsula to the northwest of the port. Havana, founded in 1513, had for over two centuries been the great marshalling point for the Flotas, the annual fleets of Spanish galleons that carried vast quantities of silver and gold from South America and Mexico to Spain. This role, plus Cuba s immensely lucrative sugar-slave economy, had made Havana one of the wealthiest and arguably the most culturally sophisticated city in the New World. Its streets and great plazas were lined with immensely grand and elaborately decorative buildings that would have held pride of place in any European capital. The city of Havana is shown to be surrounded by its old walls and additionally defended by the immense fort of the Castillo de El Morro, at the western side of the moth of the harbour, while across is its sister bastion, the Castello de La Punta, while the Castello de La Fuerza protects Havana s quayside. Within the city, the key, in the lower left, employs letters to identify 22 sites, labelled (A-Z) with the first 16 entries on the list (A-Q) noting Havana s many grand ecclesiastical edifices, including A. Cathedral, as well as convents / monasteries and parish churches. Secular sites include the R. Audit Office (where gold and silver was inventoried!); S. St. Elmo s Redoubt; T. Infantry Barracks; X. Main City Gate; and Z. Abattoir. The surrounding countryside assumes a bucolic appearance, with rolling hills, forests and arroyos, punctuated by roads and the odd rural church.

Te zamen vergaadert en in â t ligt gebragt, door Gerard van Keulen, &c." The work was published in amsterdam by Gerard van Keulen in 1708 (but 1709). --- This was the largest Van Keulen sea atlas ever issued. Keulen atlases of this size are rarely available. The last notable records we see are Sotheby's in 1984 with 160 charts and Christie's in 2019 with 133 charts. --- Johannes van Keulen (1654-1711) was a Dutch publisher. He was said to have produced â the largest and finest marine atlases in Holland.â (Koeman) He received a privelege from the States General of Holland and West Friesland in order to printe maritame atlases and shipping guides. The privilege was to protect his printed material from illegal reproduction. He named his printing firm, In de Gekroonde Lootsman, which grew to be one of the most successful Amsterdam publishing firms. He collaborated with other cartographers including Claes Janszoon Vooght and Johannes van Luyken. --- Keulen's first atlas, entitled "Zee Atlas", contained only 40 charts. By 1695 his atlas would have 160 charts. His son, Gerard, took over publication in 1704 and expanded the atlas to 185 charts by 1709. --- Gerard van Keulen (1678-1727) was a skilled engraver, mathematician, and chart-maker. He was appointed Hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company in 1714. The van Keulen publishing firm operated continuously from 1678 to 1885 with three generations of the family active in the firm. --- The volume is bound in contemporary Dutch calf gilt, covers with a gilt stamped central armillary sphere within an arabesque, spine in compartments with raised bands gilt. --- Present in the atlas: 183 hand-colored engraved plates and charts (nearly all double-page or folding, with the world map credited to Nicolaes Visscher) 14 of which are coastal profiles, Hand-colored engraved allegorical title page or frontispiece dated 1709 (by Aernout Naghtegael after Jan Lukeyn), Folding letterpress title in Dutch dated 1708, Additional title in French dated 1709, 12 pages of Dutch text, 8 pages of French Text, 5 hand-colored allegorical divisional titles dated 1709. --- The contents collates broadly with Koeman Keu 28 (dated 1709 and containing 185 charts), with the following exceptions: the French letterpress title here is dated 1709 rather than 1707; in Part 2 charts (55)+(56) have been joined to form a large folding chart; charts (60) and (61) have been replaced by â Nouvelle carte marine Generale croissant ende-Grà s du Canal â ¦ A New General and Gradual increasing Compass Map of the Channel â ¦â ; chart (86) has been replaced with â Paskaert van Cales tot Cadiz â ¦â ; chart (97) has been replaced with â Pascaart van de kust van Portugalâ ; and there is an additional chart after (105) titled â Nieuwe Pascaert vande kust van Maroca en Zanhagaâ ; in Part 3 chart (111) has been updated with â Nieuwe paskaart van tâ opkomender Straat Gibralter â ¦â ; and two pairs of charts have been joined: (126)+(129), and (127)+(128) to form two large folding charts; and in Part 4 (136) has been replaced by â Paskaert waer in de graden der breedde over weder zyden â ¦â . The Dutch letterpress title is dated 1708 and contains the address of Gerard van Keulen, while the general allegorical title and 5 allegorical divisional titles are all dated 1709 and show the address of Johannes van Keulen.
