= A fine copy of this important and rare map, showing the outbound and return voyage of the first Dutch fleet sailing from the Zuiderzee in Holland to Java in 1596-1597 undertaken under the command of Cornelis de Houtman. Despite the fact that this voyage proved to be very costly both in terms of the loss of life of crew members as well in financial terms, Houtman's journey laid the foundation for the rapid growth and eventually dominance of the Dutch trading empire in the 17th century. The map was intended to be published in Willem Lodewijcksz, Historie van Indien (1595), but publication was prohibited by the Dutch authorities, probably as a protective measure. In 1598 Cornelis Claesz. nevertheless published the map as a separate sheet and 1599 the map was included, with some small changes, in the third volume of De Bry's Indiae orientalis (...). Schilder, Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica vol. VII, p.263f and illustration 11.56. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXIV.

= Excellent map with a fine armorial title-cartouche by M.A. Stagnon after C.N. Cochin II, and a large vignette by C.-E. Patas after C.D.J. Eisen depicting the presentation of the map to emperor Joseph II. Sheet XXI presents a plan of Brussels: "Plan Topographique de la Ville de Bruxelles et de ses environs". The map was first produced in three coloured manuscript copies, each on 275 sheets, between 1771 and 1777 on the scale of 1:11.520. It was inspired by and based on the geometrical method used for the large Carte de France surveyed by C.F. Cassini thirty years earlier. The manuscript maps then led to the publication of an engraved reduction on the scale of 1:86.400 and named Carte Chorographique, or Carte Marchande since this edition was meant for sale.
