Description
This is wonderful dounble-page map of the Arctic Island of Spitsbergen, well north of mainland Norway. The map makes the heads of Wiche sound (Liefde bay) and Wyde bay communicate, and it marks and names Hinlopen strait. Spitsbergen was an important station for Dutch whalers in the 17th centuries. This is an uncommon example without the ships and whaling scene. It is based was the Muscovy Company's map of 1625, but the north coast is completely new. Spanish text on verso. The map was created for the Atlas Novus.
