The Relation of a wonderfull voiage made by William Cornelison Schouten of Horne. : Shewing how south from the Straights of Magelan, in Terra del-Fuogo: he found and discovered a newe passage through the great South Sea, and that way sayled round about the world. .
An English account published in London in 1619 by Nathanaell Newbery, recording William Cornelison Schouten's voyage past Tierra del Fuego and around the world through the South Sea. The four engraved views show ships, islands and canoes with finely hatched seas and mountains, a plain pictorial record of early Dutch exploration. A designer could take from them the dense cross-hatched line engraving of rough water, rocky coastlines and sailing ships, and the precise scale of crowded rigging.
