4783820. LOOTSMAN, Caerte van Archangel, ca 1663/66.
Description
Jacob Theunis Lootsman (d 1679) and Caspar (1635-1711), “Caerte van Archangel ofte de Rivier de Duina, soo wel van't Nieuwe alts't Oude diep”, engraved nautical chart of the Northern Dvina's (Severnaya Dvina) outlet into the White Sea at Arkhangelsk, c. 1663/66.
Plate: approx. 42.5 x 52.5 cm.
Leaf: approx. 44.7 x 55.5 (54.3) cm.
Theunis (Anthonie) Jacobsz (1606/07-1650) was the founder of a successful printing business in Amsterdam, specializing in nautical charts. He was the second (after Jacob Colom) to publish a pilot's guide, likely the first edition was issued before 1644. After his death in 1650, the widow ran the business on until sons Caspar (1635-1711) and Jacob (died 1679) could take over. Jacob added himself with the name Lootsman so as not to be confused with his father, and so did his brother Caspar. Most likely, the brothers issued most of the maps and charts produced by their father. In 1666 they published “Nieuwe Water-Werelt, Oftentimes Zee-Atlas”.
Condition
Yellowed, discoloration after passepartout from previous framing. Discoloration along the middle fold. Fed on paper. Stains. Two areas (about 35x10mm, and about 7x10mm) with paper thinner at the top in the middle, where the printing ink is worn away. A star-shaped tear (about 20x20mm) on the right part (to the left of “S. Niclaes”). A few tears (about 5-35mm) in the margin (and in the image surface). The middle fold with rips at the top (50mm, and with pleats) and at the bottom (40mm). Paper thinning on verso.
Not framed.
