A beautiful old colour example of Goos' decorative map of the World and one of the most sought after of all dutch world maps from the 17th century. Pieter Goos sea atlases were among the finest printed in the world at the time and his general map of the world is of equal quality. The two expertly engraved hemispheres closely follow the work of Visscher and Blaeu. A host of birds are shown flying into a resplendent sun. Beneath, a set of allegorical figures represent the four seasons shown with various other figures. Dated: 1666
