Caarte voor een gedeelte der Canarise Eylanden

Rare sea chart of the Canary Islands by Pieter Goos. The islands featured from left to right include El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Isla de Lobos, Lanzarote, La Graciosa, Montaña Clara, and Alegranza.

The chart not only indicates the locations of ports but also includes crucial navigational information such as soundings, sand bars, fishing banks, and potential hazards. Additionally, it features rhumb lines, scales, a ship illustration, and an ornate compass rose. The decorative title cartouche adds an artistic touch to the map.

An inset map specifically focuses on the harbor of Lanzarote, an island that served as an important Dutch trading center in the 17th century. The small cartouche and compass rose in the inset map contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of this sea chart. The map was originally published in Pieter Goos' De Zee-Atlas Ofte Water-Weereld. Old mounted on paper, as usual for nautical charts by Goos.
