Map of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean from 1666 – De Zee-Atlas, ofte Water-Weereld
Scarce sea chart with an interesting depiction of the coastline of the USA, “Pascaerte van Westindien de Vaste Kusten en de Eylanden”, Goos, Pieter
Goos’s scarce map of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean was based on Hessel Gerritsz’s map of the region published around 1631, which influenced many derivatives.
Goos included updates of other derivatives, including the cartography of the Gulf of Mexico by Joannes van Loon, c.1661, and the gently sloping coastline of the south-eastern USA by Hendrick Doncker, c.1659.
However, Goos’s map was the first derivative to include Gerritsz’s insertion of the northern coast of Cuba, which fills the lower left-hand corner. Goos also introduced some improvements, such as the depiction of the Outer Banks.
The map is decorated with two compass roses and the title appears on a cowhide held aloft by two cherubs.
