Linschoten, Jan Huygen van, 1563-1611 · 1601 · Ghedruct tot Franeker, : By Gerard Ketel. · 32 pictures

Jan Huygen van Linschoten's 1601 travel account of northern voyages, printed at Franeker by Gerard Ketel, describing Arctic seas, Lapland, Russia and the White Sea in day-by-day narrative for armchair readers and mariners. The pictures are hand-coloured engraved maps and coastal profiles, with ornate cartouches, compass roses, sailing ships, and dense sea-wave hatching that a designer might borrow for cartographic borders and nautical decoration.
