DE LAET, Joannes - Curacao Eylandt.

One of the earliest separate maps of Curaçao. The map has nice topographical detail and features an ornate title cartouche. Published in de Laet's account of the history of the Dutch West India Company from its beginnings to 1636.

As a director of the newly formed Dutch West India Company, De Laet had access to much of the cartographic work and manuscript material done at the time, including the work of Hessel Gerritsz, the official cartographer of the Company.
