EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique map of the Channel, dating back to 1666, takes us on a journey through time and space. Created by Pieter Goos, a renowned Dutch cartographer of the 17th century, this colour engraving is a true masterpiece that now resides in the prestigious New York Public Library. The intricate details of this map showcase not only Goos' exceptional skill but also his deep understanding of hydrography and maritime navigation. From the beautifully illustrated coat of arms to the precise depiction of rhumb lines and compass directions, every element serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy employed in creating this work. As we explore this historic chart, we are transported to an era when sea travel was both treacherous and awe-inspiring. The English Channel comes alive with its coastal towns, including England's iconic coastline and Brittany's picturesque shores across continental Europe. This map offers valuable insights into navigation routes during that period while providing glimpses into trade routes between England and France. With its meticulous engravings capturing every contour of landmasses meeting vast oceans, this print invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It stands as a reminder of how maps have shaped our understanding of geography throughout centuries. Bridgeman Images has ensured that this remarkable piece endures for generations to come by preserving it digitally. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship behind this antique treasure from Fine Art Finder.
