A scarce Dutch sea chart of the western British Isles and Ireland

LOON, Jan van.

Pascaerte van Engeland, Schotlandt, Yerlant en een gedeelte van Franckryk.
Amsterdam, 1661. Original wash colour. 430 x 540mm.

Repairs at top margin, with small nick in bottom edge.

A 17th century sea chart of the British Isles and the English Channel, orientated with north to the right. The east coasts of England and Scotland are covered by the title cartouche and four inset details; van Loon regarded them as superfluous as they are shown on his chart of the North Sea.
The four insets, depicted as tromp l'oeil sheets pinned on a wall, are: the Seine estuary; Poole Harbour, the Solent and Isle of Wight; the Cornish coast from the Lizard to Plymouth; and the Thames from Sheppey to London.
