(Chart of New Netherland and the English Virginias from Cape Cod to Cape Canrick [i.e. Hatteras].) 1666.Mapmaker: Pieter GoosOne of the most beautiful early charts of southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic region. Some of the finest artistry of Dutch cartography is found on sea charts. The most successful publisher in this field was Pieter Goos, whose work was popular with both the practicing and armchair sailor. This chart of the Northeast presents the elements that make his work so highly desirable: excellent balance between embellishment and map; realistic maritime detail (such as the sailor holding a navigational instrument) mingled with baroque decoration; rich color; and fine paper.The shapes of both Manhattan and Long Island are well rendered as are the New Jersey shore and the Delaware Bay and River. Along the latter, all of the Swedish and Dutch forts and settlements are shown. Early settlements along the Connecticut shore (Gilfort, Stamfort, Stratfort, Milfort, etc.) also appear......one for sale on-line found at over $12,000.00 US.....Old, antique sea chart of New England and Virginia by Pieter Goos.Pas Caerte van Nieu Nederlandt en de Engelsche Virginies van Cabo Cod tot Cabo Canrick - Goos P., 1666.Item number: 02097 - Price: €11800 ($12862 / £9204)....Pieter GoosFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaPieter GoosBornPieter Goos1616AmsterdamDied1675 (aged 58–59)AmsterdamChildrenOne son, Henrik GoosParent(s)Father, Abraham Goos and mother Stijntgen Theunisdr de RamPieter Goos' map of the East Indies (1660)Detail of his East Indies map showing Christmas IslandPieter Goos (1616–1675) was a Dutch cartographer, copperplate engraver, publisher and bookseller. He was the son of Abraham Goos (1590–1643), also a cartographer and map seller. From 1666, Pieter Goos published a number of well produced atlases. He was the first to map Christmas Island, which he labelled "Mony" in his map of the East Indies, published in his 1666 Zee-Atlas (Sea Atlas).[1] His Atlas ofte Water-Weereld (Atlas or Water World)[2] has been cited as one of the best maritime atlases of its time.[3] Another of his fine works was the Oost Indien (East Indies) map published in 1680.[4]Contents [hide] 1Early life2Career3Gallery4ReferencesEarly life[edit]Goos was born in 1616 into a cartographer's family in Amsterdam, Netherlands. His father, Abraham, was an established cartographer having published globes as well as land and sea maps at Antwerp. His mother was Stijntgen Theunisdr de Ram.[3][5] In Antwerp, his father had associated with Jodocus Hondius and Johannes Janssonius. Goos followed in his footsteps, first creating pilot books and then moving into global sea atlases to assist navigation.[3] His son, Henrik, followed in the family tradition of cartography and publishing.[6] Goos operated from Amsterdam, which was the focal point of cartography (as Antwerp was affected by war) and also trade during the seventeenth century. The Dutch maps were very detailed, colourful and attractive.[2]Career[edit]Pilot books, which contained a large number of navigation charts, were published by many authors, including Goos. He had a notarized agreement with two others, Jacob Lootsman and Hendrick Doncker, to publish pilot books for navigation along the Mediterranean coast, also covering easterly and westerly navigational routes. These were called the Dutch pilot books and remained valid for the period from 1643 to 1680. Goos was also instrumental in publishing the first pilot book for coastlines outside Europe.[7] A further improvement over the pilot books in Dutch cartography was the publication of sea atlases covering the whole world. Initiated in 1659 by Doncker, the approach was also adopted by Goos from 1666.[7] One of his larger works is named "le grand & nouveau miroir ou flambeau de la mer (1662).[8] In the same year, Goos published "The Lighting Colomne or Sea-Mirrour", which not only contained nautical charts, but also "a brief instruction of the art of navigation".[9]The maps of Goos and Gerard van Kuelen were used exclusively during the eighteenth century until 1740. They were, however, found to have deficiencies such as the location of sandbars, grand banks and islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with inaccuracies of as much as 44 leagues on the reduced Goos maps.[10]Goos' famous world map titled Atlas ofte Water-Weereld was in two parts, one for each hemisphere. The colourful presentation included the two poles. His maritime maps encompassed not only Europe, Great Britain and Ireland but also the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Zee Atlas covered the English Channel, the Mediterranean and the Arctic Ocean as well as the Indian and Pacific Oceans.[2] He also published regional maps covering the coastal areas of all the continents, facilitating navigation by including details of sandbars, sea depths and the islands near the coast.[2] A particular feature of the Goos maps was that they were embellished with "large descriptive cartouches" supplemented with sketches of ships, compass cards, and wind roses. His sea atlas of 1666 contained a frontispiece which featured ships in combat.[11] Printed on thick paper with gilding, people bought the colourful maps just to decorate their offices and homes.[12] At least one of Goos' atlases was published by his widow.[13]Gallery[edit]1658 Paskaart Europa: Pieter Goos 1660 De Texel Stroom & De Mase: Pieter Goos 1666 Orbis Terrarum (World Map): Pieter Goos 1666 Nieu Nederlandt (New Netherland): Pieter GoosReferences[edit]Jump up ^ "Christmas Island History".
