Goos, Pieter
Pieter Goos (1616 - 1675) was a Dutch cartographer, engraver, publisher and bookseller. Goos was born in Amsterdam, the son of cartographer, globemaker, and engraver Abraham Goos (1590 - 1643). Goos followed in his father's footsteps as a mapmaker and engraver, working with Petrus Kaerius, C.J. Visscher, John Speed, Henricus Hondius, and Johannes Janssonius, among others. Goos began publishing on his own account in 1657 and, from 1666, began issuing a series of well-received nautical atlases. His De Zee-Atlas Ofte Water-Wereld is considered one of the most extraordinary maritime atlases of the Dutch Golden Age. His most famous and elusive atlas, however, was 'The Burning Fen,' Het brandende veen verlichtende de kust van Africa ende America, a collaboration with the mathematician Arent Roggeveen (1658 - 1679). When Goos died in 1675, his widow, Margareta van den Keere, sold his copper printing plates to the publisher Jacobus Robijn (c. 1649 - 1707), who reissued many of them.
