This 1680 nautical chart by the Dutch cartographer Johannes Van Keulen is a remarkable representation of the maritime routes and coastal regions of the East Indies, spanning from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan (Landt van Eso). Titled Nieuwe Pascaert van Oost Indien Verthoonende hen van C. De Bona Esperanca tot aen het Landt van Eso Geleyt op Wassende Graeden, this map was a crucial navigational tool for Dutch and European mariners during the height of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) trade empire.

Van Keulen, a leading Amsterdam-based mapmaker and publisher, specialized in producing sea charts and atlases essential for maritime trade and exploration. This highly detailed chart follows the conventions of portolan-style maps, featuring coastal outlines, rhumb lines, and navigational markers to aid sailors in plotting safe and efficient courses through the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asian waters.

The map is adorned with decorative elements, including an ornate cartouche, compass roses, and ships sailing the seas, reflecting the artistic and scientific precision of 17th-century Dutch cartography. Major ports and trade centers such as Goa, Batavia (Jakarta), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and Nagasaki are prominently marked, emphasizing their importance in spice and textile trade routes controlled by the VOC.

Beyond its navigational function, this chart is a testament to the Dutch dominance in global trade during the Golden Age of Cartography. Today, it is highly valued by collectors, historians, and maritime enthusiasts for its detailed craftsmanship, historical significance, and aesthetic appeal, offering a captivating glimpse into 17th-century oceanic exploration and commerce.
