Description
The cartographic details first engraved by Hendrick Doncker ca. 1659, with added decorations by Johannes Leupenius shortly before or in 1664.
Dating the chart itself is not possible other than roughly; generally the date of (before 1664) is applied, based on the advertisement in "Nieuw Groot Stuurmans Straetboeck" van 1664 : Seeve groote Paskaerten... een dito van Oost Indien... alle soo op pargament als papier gedrukt, en bequaem om in Vergulde lysten geset en tot cieraed in de huysen gebruykt te werden.". So Doncker advertised both paper and vellum versions. Jason Hubbard has to date only recorded one case of the chart on vellum (with all four sides cut short, as if removed from a frame with a sharp knife), the remaining size of the wall map is 718 X 893 mm. Only a handful of copies on paper are recorded.
The chart includes details of the Dutch discoveries in Australia of Hartog (1616); Houtman (1619); the Leeuwin (1622) and Carstenszoon (1623); as well as de Wits (1628); and Tasmans second voyage in 1644 (Northern Australia) and Peter Nuyts exploits (1627).

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
