GOOS, Pieter (1615/1616-1675). Orbis Terrarum Nova et accuratissima tabula. Nieuwe Werelt Kaert. [Amsterdam: 1666 or later].
Very rare double-hemisphere world map, from Pieter Goos' maritime atlas, 'the finest printed at the time' (Shirley). This map's predecessors were the world maps published by Visscher and Blaeu - in fact Goos' atlases were often added to Blaeu's Atlas Maior as a maritime supplement. The spandrels are fully decorated, the upper filled with a flock of birds – including a Goose – flying across sunbeams illuminating the world through parted clouds, the lower with anthropomorphic representations of the four seasons. Only 3 copies can be traced at auction since 1975 (ABPC/RBH). Koeman IV, Goos 1 (1); Shirley World 438 ('expertly engraved hemispheres').
Engraved double-hemisphere world map, coloured by a contemporary hand, verso blank, titles in Latin and Dutch in top left- and right-hand roundels with borders of birds and fishes respectively, north and south poles to lower left- and right-hand corners, California as an island with a flat-topped northern coastline with island of 'Anian' to its north, decorative spandrels, heads of the four winds in surrounding cloudscape, 444 x 541mm (plate mark), 482 x 572mm (sheet).
