Antique Sea Chart of Hudson Bay and Arctic Canada by Van Keulen, circa 1681

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Pascaarte vande Noorderzee Custen van America (..)'. Sea chart of Hudson Bay and Arctic Canada. Compass roses, loxodromic lines, and ships decorate the oceans and both the title and distance scale are embellished with scene of hunters, trading, Native Americans and animals. The title cartouche is truly astonishing, with a hunter fully dressed in fur hunting a polar bear family with bow and arrow. This map was first drawn in 1680 and is based on Doncker's final chart of Hudson Bay and the Arctic, with nearly identical cartouches.
