Hyacinth, P. rev.


Bland arbeten.
Plan de la ville de Peking levee en 1817 (title repeated in Russian). St. Petersburg, (c. 1815) 1220 x 960 mm.
A rare map of the city published in St Petersburg in the early part of the nineteenth century. The plan shows details of the city walls, gates, streets, waterways, lakes, palaces, buildings and temples. Although mentioned in Cordier, little detail is given, but it does appear to be a source map for a number of subsequent maps published through the nineteenth century.
The Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Peking was founded in 1727. The Emperor K’Ang His gave them a temple in the north-west corner of the city. According to Cordier a good deal of Scientific and Sinological work was done at the mission.

Östanstång, landskapet mellan Stångån, Motala ström, Östersjön och Småland (1653).

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.
