Der zee-vaert lof : handelende vande gedenckwaerdighste zee-vaerden... in VI boecken beschreven
Der zee-vaert lof is a 1634 Dutch book of sea voyages by Elias Herckmans, published in Amsterdam by J.P. Wachter for J. Fredericks, with illustrations after Rembrandt. Its etchings show shipwreck and sea-travel scenes, with a figure kneeling on a shore beside a ship with a billowing sail, a small boat on open water with onlookers on rocks, and mythic sea gods with a trident confronting a mounted commander among struggling figures. The plates are tonal, loose etched hatching on pale paper, useful to a designer seeking sea-narrative compositions with crowded foregrounds and distant ships.
