WILLDEY, GEORGE.


Engelsk karthandlare i början av 1700-talet, bosatt i London. Enligt honom själv handlade han med 'franska och holländska kartor till de fördelaktigaste priserna'. Vidare rekommmenderar han sina alla typer av 'Spectacles, Reading Glasses, Tellescopes, Perspective Glasses' etc. och uppmanar 'all the Artists in the Universe' till att komma till honom. Tooley upplyser torrt att han var lika mycket leksaksfabrikant som karthandlare. Han nämner dock ett antal kartor, samtliga utförda runt 1720.

Goos, Abraham.

Biografiska uppgifter:fl. 1614-43
Abraham Goos was a noted engraver in Amsterdam who prepared plates for many maps published in well-known atlases of his time including Speed's A Prospect ofthe Most Famous Parts of the World (1627) and the 1632 edition of Speed's Atlas. He was related to the Hondius family by whom he was also employed as an engraver. In 1616 he issued a book of maps, the Nieuw Nederlandtsh Caertboeck (4to) which was re-issued in 1619 and 1625.

His son, Pieter, continued and extended his father's business and became one of the group of well-known engravers of sea charts active in Amsterdam in the middle years of the seventeenth century. In common with Colom, Doncker and Jacobsz he published a pilot guide, the Zee-Spiegel, basing it on plates obtained from Jacobsz. This went through many editions in different languages under the startling titles so popular at the time. In addition to publishing his Zee-Spiegel in the usual Parts 1 and II (Europe and Atlantic coasts) and Part III (Mediterranean) he broke new ground in preparing Parts IV and V, covering charts and sailing directions for the coasts of the West Indies and West Africa. The later editions of the Zee Atlas were published by his widow who eventually sold the publishing rights of the Atlas and of the Zee-Spiegel to Jacobus Robijn.
