A Latin history of Amsterdam printed in 1611 at Amsterdam by Judocus Hondius, written by Johannes Isacius Pontanus and including engraved plates by Kornelis van Haemrode and Benjamin Wright, aimed at scholars and readers interested in the city's origins and early voyages. Its hand-coloured copperplate engravings show Dutch ships at sea, coastal trading scenes and harbour fleets, with densely detailed rigging, flags and crowded decks that offer designers models for maritime and exploration imagery.
