Description

Fascinating decorative map showing the route of Martin Frobisher from England to Greenland and back, with an elaborate depiction of Iceland, Greenland and the Northeastern Coat of North America to Davis Straits and Newfoundland. The map was used to illustrate the Dutch translations of the account of Frobisher's voyage. Vander Aa was one of the most prolific compilers of information on the early explorations to America, Asia and Africa. In total, the work reached 130 narratives, which were offered in 28 8vo volumes. A finely executed copper plate engraving with decorative cartouche.

Pieter van der Aa Biography

Pieter van der Aa (1659-1733) was a Dutch mapmaker and publisher who printed pirated editions of foreign bestsellers and illustrated books, but is best known for his voluminous output of maps and atlases. Van der Aa was born to a German stonecutter from Holstein. Interestingly, all three van der Aa sons came to be involved in the printing business. Hildebrand was a copper engraver and Boudewyn was a printer.
