Description
Gerard van Keulen (1654-1715)
The van Keulen family operated a chart-making and publishing firm in Amsterdam for nearly 200 years. Johannes van Keulen founded it and registered his business as a "bookseller and cross-staff maker". Under his management, he began the Nieuwe Lichtende Zee-Faakel (New Shining Sea Torch) in 1681. It expanded to five volumes, then finally to six, adding material from the East India Company's secret files. In 1693, van Keulen acquired Hendrik Doncker's stock. In 1678, Johannes registered with the Amsterdam Booksellers Guild as a "bookseller and Cross-staff maker." By then, most Amsterdam chart makers and instrument makers, like Blaeu, Janssonius, Hondius, Goos, and Doncker, had either closed down or were at the end of their fame. As a result, Johannes van Keulen could obtain copperplates, privileges, and stocks from many of his former competitors.
Gerard van Keulen was a son of Johannes van Keulen and Louysje Laurend Coerte. On October 7, 1712, Van Keulen was granted a patent for ''Het gilded licht der Zeevaart''.
Van Keulen acquired the stock of Blaeu's sons and inherited the privilege of working as mapmakers for the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie. He continued publishing Blaeu's globes.
He takes over the family business from his father in 1714. After his death, his son and his widow continued the business.

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value:
Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
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 these are therefore more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
- Original colors: the colors were applied around the time the map was issued.
- Original o/l colors: only the borders were colored at the time of publication.
- Colored: the colors were applied recently or at the end of the 20th century ("attractive colors" may also be used).
