Goeree, Jan
Jan Goeree (1670 - 1731) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He was also known as a poet. He was the son of one Willem Goeree and no details come down to us of his youth in Middleburg. In Amsterdam he was a pupil of Dutch Golden Age painter and art theorist Gerard de Lairesse. He lived out his life in Amsterdam, the city in which most of his work was produced. His engraving appeared in De Fer's Atlas Royal. Tooley's Dictionary is probably mistaken in saying he worked for Pieter van der Aa. Although his imprint is to be found on van der Aa's large format maps, these were executed on behalf of François Halma as early as 1694, and the plates later acquired and reprinted by van der Aa in 1713.

This is the rare first state of François Halma's c. 1699 separately-issued map of America. Its unusually large folio size, bold and sophisticated engraving, and rich original color set this map apart as one of the most beautiful late-17th-century maps of the Americas available to the collector. It dramatically presents some of the most notable geographic ideas of its era, including a prominent insular California after the Sanson model. The Great Lakes and the course of the Mississippi, as well as the rest of the American coastline, closely resembles that of Nicolas de Fer's 1699 L'Amerique. (more details)

This beautiful north polar projection map of the world, published in 1713 by Pieter van der Aa, is the most attractive depiction of a lost cartographic monument: Giovanni Domenico Cassini's eight-meter world map, which at one time adorned the floor of the Paris Observatory. That mammoth work can be considered the earliest scientific map of the world: it was the first to fix longitude based upon accurate astronomical observation. The present map is a glorious work of baroque art, embellished by the masterful decorative engravings of Gilliam van der Gouwen, based on the drawings of Jan Goeree. (more details)
