Centered off the Ponziane Islands, this sea chart covers the area of the Tyrrhenian Sea, delimited by Sardinia, the Elba island, the strait of Messina and Trapani. It contains an enlarged inset map of the golf of Naples.
From van Keulen's "De Nieuwe Groote Lichtende Zee-Fackel, part III.3.3. The atlas was published by Johannes van Keulen (1654-1715) and his son Gerard with the cooperation of the mathematician and surveyor, Claes Jansz. Voogt. The chart is an altered state with an scale with Italian miles added.
Koeman calls the Van Keulen maps of paramount importance in the development of marine cartography. The chart is beautifully engraved with a large decorative cartouche, compass roses and rhumb lines.
