(Werken uitgegegeven door de Linschoten-Vereeniging, 49).The voyage of discovery of Jacob le Maire and Willem Cornelisz. Schouten (1615-1617) was a daring expedition that discovered a new sea route to the Pacific Ocean via Cape Horn. Their discovery of the Le Maire Strait and the Southern Passage bypassed the VOC's trade monopoly. They sailed aboard the ships 'Eendracht' and 'Hoorn' under the auspices of Isaac le Maire, Jacob's father. Despite the legal conflict with the VOC upon their return, the discovery remained crucial for the world map. Their experiences are recorded in detailed journals, which were later published and annotated, including in this edition.

This is a Latin edition published in Amsterdam of Herrera's very rare original work published in Madrid in 1601. This collection of voyages is often referred to as an edition of Herrera, which is not strictly correct. It is important for including the first printed official account of Jacob le Maire's voyage 1615-17 that discovered Cape Horn and a further route to the Pacific Ocean. The maps accompanying the Herrera part were faithfully taken from the earlier work, even to the extent that le Maire's insular Tierra del Fuego, reported in the same work, is not depicted. Neither for that matter is an insular California as delineated on the title page.Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas (1559â1625) was born in the region of Segovia into a noble family. He became the official Spanish historian to King Philip II, III, and IV of Spain and as such had remarkable access to the archives. Indeed, he was responsible for recording the Americas as early as 1596. In 1601 he published the 'Description de las Indias Occidentales', one of the most comprehensive histories of the America's yet published. It was accompanied by 14 maps largely derived from Lopez de Velasco manuscripts. Many of Herrera's sources have been lost to us over time which makes his work even more valuable.In 1622 Michiel Colijn re-published the work in Latin, Dutch, and French. This Latin edition was translated by Caspar Barleus (1584-1648) whose three-page Preface dedicates the work to the States General. Following Herrera's account on 'Fol. 45' is the 'Ephemerides sivà Descriptio Navigationis Australis' which describes Le Maire's voyage illustrated with a map. It includes a list of the voyages which had passed through into the Pacific since the time of Magellan. This is followed by the 'Descriptio Indiae Occidentalis' by Petro Ordonnez de Cevallos and the 'Brevis ac succincta Americae, sive Novi Orbis omniumque, quae in eo sunt, regionum hactenus exploratarum descriptio, excerpta à tabulis geographicis' by Petrus Bertius.It is difficult to overestimate the impact of Le Maire's voyage. He set out with Willem Cornelis Schouten with the aim of finding another route to the Spice Islands that did not involve going through the monopolised Straits of Magellan. In rounding Cape Horn, they opened the way for future travellers into the Pacific. They went onto prove that the great southern continent was not connected to South America or New Guinea. The Dutch East India Company seized Le Maire's vessel and diary following their arrival in the East Indies. It was not until this work that Le Maire's father was able to get back his son's journals and publish them.The title page to the whole is significant as it includes a map of the American continent. "This small map's chief claim to fame is in being the first map to delineate California as an island. It is a legend on the Henry Briggs map of 1625 that informs us of the probable source of this geographical anomaly. It is a map taken from a Spanish vessel by the Dutch and is assumed to be that accompanying Friar Antonio de la Ascension's written account of October 1620 intended for the Council of the Indies and the King of Spain. In it he presents his firm belief in California as an island. The map does not survive but Briggs mentions in 1622 having seen in London a Dutch map showing such an island. The publisher of this expanded edition of Herrera's work, Michiel Colijn, gives no explanation for its use. He even includes a peninsular California in the general map of the same work. The origins of the myth go back further in history." (Burden).

'All first editions in oblong format are rare and much sought after' (Borba de Moraes, p.828). The maps include the Straits of Magellan, Le Maire's route (showing the strait he discovered round the east of Tierra del Fuego and which is named after him), and the East Indies. The world map shows the routes of both Spilbergen and Le Maire and, in a rectangular panel at the bottom, Le Maire's discoveries along the northern coast of New Guinea (Shirley 304). Among the plates are portrayals of battle-scenes, various ports on the Pacific coast of Spanish America as far north as Acapulco, Manila Bay, and various harbours and islands in the western Pacific and Indonesia.The Speculum orientalis occidentalisque Indiae the 'East and West Indian mirror' narrates two highly important Dutch expeditions to the East Indies via South America and across the Pacific. The first, a powerful East India Company (VOC) fleet under the command of Spilbergen, was essentially predatory, raiding Spanish shipping and settlements; it also aimed to assert the VOC's exclusive passage to the Pacific through the Strait of Magellan, countering challenges by its Dutch rivals. After clearing the Strait, Spilbergen's fleet worked its way up the South American coast, sacking Spanish settlements and attacking Spanish shipping, until it reached Acapulco. It then crossed the Pacific to the Philippines and Ternate, where it hoped to intercept the Spanish force rumoured to be about to descend on the Dutch outposts in the Moluccas. Finally, Spilbergen headed for Batavia, where he encountered Jacob Le Maire and Willem Corneliszoon Schouten, whose expedition is the other voyage recounted in this volume. Their papers, ship (the Eendracht) and crew were immediately seized by the VOC, which saw this independent venture as a serious infringement of its monopoly, and Le Maire and Schouten were taken back to the Netherlands with Spilbergen. Spilbergen's expedition was not intended to be one of 'discovery', but it nevertheless stands out as being exceptionally well-managed, the fifth circumnavigation of the globe, and 'the first to sail half-way round the world with a whole fleet well in hand' (SpateII, p.21).Jacob Le Maire and Schouten had been sent by the Australische Compagnie, formed by Isaac Le Maire (Jacob's father), to discover a new passage to the Pacific south of the Strait of Magellan, thereby circumventing the VOC's exclusive rights, and to trade in any lands they discovered in the South Pacific hopes of finding the southern continent promised in Quiros's memorials were high. They were successful in their first objective, sailing to the Le Maire Strait, which separates Tierra del Fuego from Staten Island, and into the Pacific round Cape Horn (named after Hoorn, their home base), but the southern continent proved elusive. Although commercially motivated, their expedition may be considered as 'the one genuine voyage of Oceanic exploration between Quiros and Tasman' (ibid., p.23). Le Maire died at sea on the way home with Spilbergen, but after several years' litigation his father successfully sued the VOC for the return of his son's journal and was awarded damages.STCN 06262928X; USTC 1012022; Brunet V, col.491; Borba de Moraes p.826; Graesse VI.1, p.469; Howgego S159; Landwehr, VOC 361; Sabin 89450.

's Gravenhage, Martinus Nijhoff, 1945. 2 volumes. Cloth. With 2 facsimiles, 12 illustrations and 17 maps. XXIV,229; XV,265 pp. Linschoten-Vereeniging XLIX. - Voyage of great importance for the exploration of the Pacific Ocean.

Folio (302 x 196 mm.), 196 pages, with 15 illustrations in colour and black & white printed on Raleigh Oxford cream paper; hand-bound in quarter alum-tawed goat skin with marbled paper sides. A beautifully produced facsimile. long out of print, in an edition that was strictly limited to 900 copies. The fifth publication in the Australian Maritime Series, this includes a 96-page exact facsimile of the rare original Dutch printing of 1622, accomapnied by a 65-page exact facsimile of the original English text by Alexander Dalrymple of 1770. The Introductory essay is by Dr Edward Duyker. It was nutmeg and pepper that drove the wealthy and powerful Dutch merchant Isaac Le Maire to try to break the VOC monopoly on trade routes to the East Indies, and inspired him to mount an expedition that would forge a new route to the lucrative spice sources via the southern-most tip of America, through uncharted and dangerous waters. Influenced by the famous voyage of Pedro Ferdinandos de Quirós, the Portuguese navigator who believed he had touched upon Terra Australis, the great southland, Le Maire set up The Australian Company (Australische of Zuid Compagnie). The expedition he mounted had a dual goal: to chart a new course to the Pacific and to find the great southern continent. .

"Fretum le Maire" Double-page engraved chart. A detailed chart of the route taken by Jacob Le Maire and Willem Schouten from Porto Desire across the Pacific to New Guinea, with insets of their route along the north coast of New Guinea, and through the strait that was named for him: "Fretum le Maire", to the south of Tierra del Fuego. Published in Joris van Spilbergen's 'Speculum orientalis occidentalisque Indiae navigationum' (1619). In 1614 the VOC enjoined Spilbergen to sail with six vessels to the Moluccas via the Straits of Magellan. The five-year circumnavigation was the first carried out with the official support of the Dutch government. Although officially a trading mission, Spilbergen was authorised by the VOC to use force to disrupt the Spanish Pacific trade (Allen). Once the Seventeen Provinces had freed themselves from Spanish rule in 1581, they no longer had access to the Habsburg trading empire and needed to establish their own presence in the Pacific. Spilbergen himself believed that "the best and only means of reestablishing our affairs in the Indies and of making ourselves entirely masters of the Moluccas is, in my opinion, to dispatch a fleet and armada direct to the Philippines, in order to attack the Spaniards there, and to overpower all the places and strongholds it may be possible to conquer" (Zaide). After various mutinies and even more numerous acts of piracy, Spilbergen sailed through the Straits, he and his fleet captured and occupied Acapulco for a week, and then commenced their voyage across the Pacific in November of 1615. En route they discovered many islands, eventually reaching the Ladrones or Mariana Islands, and finally the Philippines where they spent a month raiding Manila-bound shipping, and the Dutch East Indies. There Spilbergen met up with Le Maire, who had discovered a new passage to the Pacific and had explored the Tuamotou Archipelago. Le Maire's voyages gave decisive evidence against the supposed existence of a massive southern continent and formed a catalyst to Tasman's discovery of New Zealand and Australia. Jacob Le Maire and Cornelis Schouten's voyage from Texel in June 1615, was a mission to find a new route to reach the Spices Islands which would break the trade monopoly of the VOC (which had been grant a monopoly trade through the Strait of Magellan). The pair succeeded by rounding South America south of the Straits of Magellan. The new cape was name "Horn" (or "Hoorn") after Shouten's ship which had been lost due to fire at the Patagonian port Desire. In doing so they also dispelled the myth of a great southern continent joined to South America. Le Maire and Schouten would continue to sail across the Pacific, discovering numerous islands along the way, and sailing up the northern coast of New Guinea. By September 1616 Le Maire reached Ternate in the Moluccas, the headquarters of the VOC. Initially well received, they were soon accused of having encroached on the rights of the Company and were tried, found guilty and shipped home on Spilbergen's ship which was completing its own trip around the world. Le Maire died on the return voyage and his journals were taken by the Company. Schouten and Spibergen published an abbreviated version of the journals; but it was not until 1622, after a long trial, that Isaac Le Maire was able to regain custody of his son's journals and to publish them in full.

Lugduni Batavorum [i.e. Leiden] : Jodocus Hondius for Nicolaus van Geelkercken, 1619. Small oblong quarto (190 x 250 mm), contemporary limp vellum with early manuscript title and collection number to spine; title with large engraved vignette (early ownership signature to upper margin); pp. [4 blank], 175, [5 blank]; with a folding engraved world map and a further 24 engraved maps, plans and views (including 2 folding maps, 2 double-page maps, one folding view and one double-page view); one preliminary leaf chipped at fore-edge, a few of the plates browned, otherwise sound and clean throughout, a good example; housed in a custom clamshell box of half morocco over marbled papered boards and cloth, spine lettered and decorated in gilt. One of the most significant illustrated travel books of the early 1600s. Spilbergen and Le Maire's "The East and West IndianMirror", which combines two circumnavigation narratives, was first published in Leiden in 1619 in simultaneous Dutch and Latin editions. A second issue of each edition was printed in the same year.This is the first Latin edition, second issue (the same as the first issue in every respect but with the name of Hondius added to the imprint on the title). All of the 1619 editions, both Dutch and Latin, were issued with the same plates. In 1614 Joris van Spilbergen's Dutch East India Company flotilla, comprised of six ships, set out for the Moluccas with the intention of reaching the East Indies via the Strait of Magellan and crossing the Pacific from east to west. The expedition sailed first to Brazil, then through the Strait of Magellan and northwards along the coasts of Chile and Peru, as far as California. Its vessels were armed and carried out attacks on Spanish settlements and shipping en route. Spilbergen then sailed for the Philippines and on to Batavia, where he failed to locate a Spanish fleet rumoured to be planning attacks against Dutch interests in the Moluccas. Instead, he encountered Le Maire and Schouten, who had recently arrived from their Pacific crossing on behalf of the Compagnie Australe only to be arrested for breaching the VOC monopoly on the Strait of Magellan passage. Spilbergen was responsible for conducting Le Maire, Schouten and their men back to the Netherlands (although Le Maire died on the voyage).

The first town plan of anywhere in the present-day United States Folio (310 by 200mm), first French edition second issue (title page canncelled, with Paris imprint added to that of Amsterdam) engraved title with vignettes and map, [8], 103, [1, blank], [6], 107-254 pp., head- and tail-pieces, with decorated initials; 27 engraved plates, pictorial title page, 17 maps and charts (16 double-page, 1 folded), 4 city views, 5 text engravings (scenes from Le Maire voyage), portrait of Le Maire not present as usual for the French edition, seventeenth century vellum. The first French edition of Herrera'a rare work here extra-illustrated with Boazio's exceedingly rare views of Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic); Santiago (Cape Verde Islands); Cartagena (Columbia); and San Augustine (Florida) - first known engraving of any locality in the present-day United States. The importance of this French edition of Herrera's 'Description des Indes Occidentales', and the other 1622 editions in Latin and Dutch, lies in its engraved pictorial title page with the first map to delineate California as an Island and in the inclusion of the first comprehensive account of Jacob Le Maire's voyage. The 14 maps in the Herrera's section are almost identical to those in the original 1601 'Descripcion', save for some resizing and changes in a few details. The most interesting are probably the 'Description de las Yndias Occidentalis', which depicts the Papal line of demarcation dividing the world between Spain and Portugal, and the 'Description de las Indias del Poniente', which depicts a large part of the Pacific with the Moluccas, the Philippines and the Ladrones accurately positioned. Le Maire and Cornelis Schouten, his second in command, left Texel in June 1615 on a mission to find a new route to reach the Spices Islands which would break the trade monopoly of the Dutch East India Company (which had been grant a monopoly trade through the Strait of Magellan). The pair succeeded to break the monopoly by rounding south America south of the Straits of Magellan. The new cape was name Horn (or Hoorn) after Shouten's ship which had been lost due to fire at the Patagonian port Desire. In doing so they also dispelled the myth of a great southern continent joined to South America. They would continue to sail across the Pacific, discovering numerous islands along the way, and sailing up the northern coast of New Guinea. By September 1616 Le Maire reached Ternate in the Moluccas, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. Initially well received, they were soon accused of having encroached on the rights of the Company and were tried, found guilty and shipped home on Spilbergen's ship which was completing its own trip around the world. Le Maire died on the return voyage and his journals were taken by the Company. Schouten and Spibergen published an abreviated version of these journal; and it was not until 1622, after a long trial, that Isaac Le Maire was able to regain custody of his son's journals and to publish them in full. The four additional city views (Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic; Santiago in the Cape Verde Islands; Cartagena in Columbia; and San Augustine, Florida) were drawn, and possibly engraved, by the Italian artist Baptista Boazio. The Boazio views are "probably the most interesting and important published graphic work pertaining to Drake and his career" Kraus. They are also the first representations of those four cities. Indeed, the view of St Augustine is the first known engraving of any locality in the present-day United States. Their history is uncertain. There is no indication that Boazio participated to the voyage but he must have obtained a version of these views from someone who did: "It was undoubtedly in the course of the return voyage that the author of this view-plan [of St. Augustine] was able to copy the figure of the Dorado fish [and of the other creatures decorating the plans] from John White's original drawings" Kraus. John White was the Governor of the first English settlement in America, who along with the other surviving settlers returned to England from Roanoke Island with Drake's expedition. Two issues of these views were printed in Leiden in 1588, both extremely rare: a large paper issue (16.5 by 22 inches) was printed to illustrate Walter Bigges and Master Croftes, 'A Summarie and true discourse of Sir Francis Drake's West Indian Voyage' published in London in 1589; the present smaller size (7.5 by 11.25 inches) has captions in Latin and French and a numerical instead of alphabetical key, and was probably printed to illustrate the Latin and French translations of 'A Summarie and true discourse', published in Leiden in 1588. While the pictures are broadly similar, the present examples show greater detail, whilst the larger ones include more sea monsters and other embellishments. Priority regarding date of publication between those two issues has not been established with certainty but there are indications that the smaller issue came first: "A close comparison of details, however, suggests that the smaller engravings come from an earlier set of drawings and that the larger maps represent revisions as well as embellishments, probably done by the same artist" (Mary Frear Keeler). There were two subsequent issues of the smaller Boazio plates: the first in 1589, published in Cologne, used the same plates but with only the Latin text below; the plates themselves are set within the text, with printed text to the verso; the second, 1590, Nuremberg printing was neither printed from new plates or the plates have been heavily revised. Only two complete sets of the four large views have appeared at auction in the last fifty years, each accompanied by an example of a map of Drake's Atlantic voyage: the DuPont sale at Christie s in 1991 for $231,000; and bound into the Macclesfield example of Saxton's atlas, Sotheby's, 2007, for £669,600. A large coloured view of Cartagena was sold at C.

First and only edition of the French translation of one of the bestsellers of illustrated 17th-century travel literature, describing one of the most famous early voyages around the world by Joris van Spilbergen (1568-1620), a veteran Dutch East Indies naval officer-turned-pirate, undertaken from 1614 to 1618. A short survey of another of the most important early voyages around the world, by Schouten and Le Maire in the years 1615 to 1617, is added at the end (pp. 117-172) with drop-title "Navigationes Australes". It reports Le Maire's proof that Tierra del Fuego is an island and his discovery of what is still called the Strait of Le Maire, an alternative route to the Pacific. Rich in ethnographic detail, the numerous illustrations in the Miroir include oversized penguins, llamas and an Andean condor with a nine-foot wing span. Naval battles, beleaguered Spanish settlements, and newly discovered islands are also depicted in detail, making the work a valuable compendium of adventure on the high seas during the Age of Discovery.With several owner's inscriptions. With a few manuscript annotations in the margin. Lacking the world map.
