HERCKMANS, Elias (1596-1644). Der Zee-vaert lof Handelende vande gedenckwaerdighste Zee. Amsterdam: Ian Fredericksz Stam for Jacob Pietersz Wachter, 1634.
2 (308 x 200mm). Half-title, engraved allegorical title, 18 half-page etchings, 17 by W. Basse and ONE ETCHING BY REMBRANDT dated 1633 (Hind 106, state II/III). (Some light dampstaining, N1.4 rehinged.) 18th-century vellum.
HERCKMANS, Elias. Theatrum Victoriae, ofte het Thooneel der Zee-Slagen. The Hague: Isaac Burchoorn, 1641. 4 (185 x 145mm). (Hole in title expertly repaired.) Later speckled wrappers.
A RARE PRINTED WORK ILLUSTRATED BY REMBRANDT. Rembrandt illustrated few printed books, so the inclusion of his etching, 'The Ship of Fortune' (p. 97), makes 'this poem greatly valued, and today, very rare' (Borba de Moraes). Herckmans begins his historical poem on navigation with a description of its origins and describes great voyages throughout history, including the voyage of Columbus in some detail. The fourth and fifth books describe in particular the Dutch activity in the East and West Indies. It is accompanied here by the even rarer Theatrum victoriae, a separate publication of the fifth canto, which Borba de Moraes had never seen. It was published while Herckmans was still in Brazil and contains a new prose introduction and omits most of the last 100 lines. Borba de Moraes 398-399; Sabin 31476; Hind, Cat. of Rembrandt's Etchings, 106. (2)
