The chart is one of the most decorative
maps of Europe from the 17th Century
extending from West Africa and the
Mediterranean to Spitsbergen and Nova
Zemlya far north. It was printed from two
plates and originally joined and published
in Frederick De Wit’s “Orbis Maritimus”.
It is richly illustrated with a large
cartouche and seven coats-of-arms. Other
decorations are elephants in North Africa
and rutting goats in Norway. “Its shape
and style are intentionally reminiscent of
the early manuscript portolans of the area
drawn on vellum” See Ginsberg.
«Totius Europae» is a highly influential
map, a foremost example illustrating the
reasons for Dutch supremacy in map production during the seventeenth century.

The following 19 maps are from the same set with charts
by Pieter Goos from his “De Zee-Atlas Ofte Water-Wereld,
Waer in vertoont werden alle de Zee-Kusten Van het
bekende des Aerd-Bodems.”. The publishing date is known
to 1675, some maps are dated 1666 – 74.
Goos is one of the most famous among several Dutch sea
chart publishers in Holland mid-1600 with an extensive
production of charts, pilot guides and sea-atlases. His main
work is “De Zee-Atlas Ofte Water-Wereld” consisting of
40 or 41 maps. All his works reflect a high professional
standard. For the design of the charts Goos mostly copied
the charts by Hendrick Doncker. The Goos maps were
decorated with large descriptive cartouches and illustrated
with ships, compass cards, wind roses etc. The maps were
sometimes sumptuously coloured and printed on thick
paper heightened in gold. Typically these copies were
