KEULEN, JOHANNES VAN Pas kaart Van de Boght van Florida Met de Canaal Tusschen Florida en Cuba Door.
Amsterdam: Gerard Van Keulen, [1734]. Fifth state. Engraved map, hand colored, framed; sheet measures 21 1/4 x 25 inches (54 x 63.25 cm). Lightly soiled in margins, a few pale spots, faint toning to fold, chip to margin at corner not effecting the map.

An attractive navigational map of Florida and Cuba, showing the Florida coast from Key Biscayne to Pensacola Bay, as well as most of the coast of Cuba. The chart includes numerous soundings, rhumb lines, three insets showing Cuban harbours and an allegorical cartouche. While first published in part IV of Johannes van Keulen's 1684 navigational atlas the Zee-Fakkel, this example of the chart is the heavily reworked, amended and improved 1734 fifth state, which was published by Johannes' son Gerard van Keulen. Burden, 591.
