De Nieuwe Groote Lichtende Zee-Fakkel. Amsterdam: Johannes van Keulen, 1684-1688.
Extremely rare maritime atlas, an excellent example from the golden age of Dutch cartography with fine contemporary hand-colouring and heightened in gold. Van Keulen produced this work in an intense burst of productivity, publishing the 5 parts in only 4 years, with the aid of two surveyors and teachers of mathematics, Claes Jansz Vooght and Jan van Loon. This copy contains the exceptionally rare letterpress general title-page dated 1687 in the first volume; the only other copy known to contain this title is in the British Library (Maps C.8.d.2). Koeman IV, Keu 34A, 57B, 87A, 109B and 123A; Shirley BL M.KEU-2b

5 parts bound in two volumes, folio (535 x 320mm). Letterpress general title dated 1687, 4 (of 5) hand-coloured engraved frontispieces by Jan Luyken, with the frontispiece to part 4 substituted by a contemporary hand-coloured engraved advertisement leaf utilizing the same engraving as found on the frontispiece to part 4, 136 numbered double-page engraved charts, including one chart printed in duplicate (part 1: frontispiece with light soiling, pencil marks, chipped corner, and with 85mm and 25mm tears repaired with old tape on verso, but without loss; part 2: frontispiece with very light offsetting; part 3: frontispiece soiled with 145 mm tear repaired on verso with old tape, but without loss; part 4: lacking allegorical frontispiece, but with engraved advertisement leaf substituted, this silked, with a few tiny wormholes and small hole to mouth of figure; light offsetting and show-through throughout, some corners with small chips, a few very short marginal tears). Modern vellum gilt, antique style. Provenance: Sidney Morehouse (late 18th-century ownership inscriptions on the first frontispieces in each volume) – earlier collector's photocopied notes loosely inserted.
