Map of the East Indies, from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan by Pieter Goos, 1700

This nautical chart of the Indian Ocean covers the entire expanse of the Dutch East India Company's operations from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan. It was engraved on copper and printed on vellum in Amsterdam by Pieter Goos (1616-1675) in 1660, then republished in 1700 by Johannes Van Keulen. This portolan depicted the state of Dutch knowledge about the Indian Ocean and the southwest Pacific in 1644 after the exploratory sailing of the Dutchman Abel Tasman along the coast of Australia. A unique feature is that it is possible to make out several pencil-drawn routes on the map, proving that it was used when navigating at sea.
