Waghenaer's The Mariners Mirrour, printed in London in 1588 by John Charlewood, is a Dutch-origin navigation atlas of European coasts and harbours, written for sailors and pilots. Its pages combine engraved coastal charts, compass roses, and figures of ships with sounding numbers, giving designers early sea-chart linework and period ship drawings to draw on.
