Journael ofte beschryvinghe van de wonderlijcke reyse

Schouten, Willem Corneliszoon, -1625 · 1632 · t' Amsterdam : By Jan Janssen ... M. DC. XXXII [1632] · 7 pictures

Journael ofte beschryvinghe van de wonderlijcke reyse is a 1632 Dutch voyage account by Willem Corneliszoon Schouten, printed in Amsterdam by Jan Janssen for a Dutch readership of the Dutch East India era. Its copperplate engravings show a harbour view with a sailing ship, native outrigger canoes, a compass rose with a sea chart, and small scenes of hunting and sea life. A designer might take from them the dense, hand-cut line work of early seventeenth-century maps and ship views, with stippled water and tiny figures.
