Johannes van Doetecum I (sold)
Johannes van Doetecum I (1528/32 - 1605, also spelled Duetecom, Duetecum, van Doetechum) was the patriarch of a Durch family of etchers and engravers, originally from Deventer. With his brother Lucas (died c. 1589), Johannes moved to Antwerp where they would work for a variety of publishers, inclufing Hieronymus Cock and Gerard de Jode. Their oeuvre included etched landscapes and ornamental work, but they are perhaps best known for the maps they produced not only for De Jode but also for Lucas Waghenaer, Petrus Plancius, and Linschoten.
Flawless example of one of the earliest modern maps of the East Indies.

This is Jan van Linschoten's 1596 view of Ascension Island - considered the earliest printed depiction of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic. This view derives from Linschoten's firsthand observation: his narrative of his return to Europe from India describes the approach to the island, sailing northwest from the Cape of Good Hope, the abundance of the island's fish (including flying fish smacking into the ships), and the fleet's continued journey to Cape Verde and the Canaries.
