This edition of Johannes Janssonius\u2019 map\u2014first appearing in his \u201cAppendix<\/em>\u201d in 1630\u2014is celebrated for its excellent regional detail and its historical significance. It is notably the only Dutch printed map to record the 1606 discoveries of captain Willem Janszoon<\/a> aboard the Duyfken<\/a>, an expedition that led to the first recorded European landing on Australian soil, specifically on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula.<\/p>\n

In the early 17th century, the Dutch East India Company<\/a> (VOC) was eager to expand its trade monopoly in the East Indies. In 1605, at the initiative of the VOC, Jan Willemsz Verschoor<\/a> organized an expedition “to discover the great land of New Guinea and other eastern and southern lands.” Willem Janszoon (1570-1636) was selected for this pioneering expedition, setting sail from Bantam (Indonesia) in late 1605. According to John Saris<\/a>, an agent for the British East India Company<\/a>, the Duyfken departed on November 28, 1605.<\/p>\n

In early 1606, after navigating New Guinea\u2019s south coast, Jansz sailed south across Torres Strait\u2014mistaking it for a shallow bay\u2014and continued along what he presumed was the continuation of New Guinea\u2019s coastline. In truth, he was venturing into the waters off the Australian coast. Unbeknownst to him, this voyage marked the first recorded European encounter with Australian soil.<\/p>\n

In addition, the map also presents the Philippines in detail for the first time. Janssonius drew upon the work of VOC cartographer Hessel Gerritsz<\/a>, utilizing information that the VOC had strictly controlled in the early 17th century for competitive reasons.<\/p>\n

Janssonius\u2019 map is significant not only for its depiction of the discoveries in New Guinea, referred to as \u201cDuyfkens Eylant,\u201d but also as the sole printed cartographic record of part of the Duyfken\u2019s route until later maps emerged. While the map uses a scale of miles to cover the area of the Australian discoveries\u2014thus offering less detail on Jansz\u2019s Australian findings\u2014it remains an invaluable document in the history of European exploration in the region.<\/p>\n
