About This Item
hand-coloured copper engraving, on full page with text, laid down on paper, with professional restorations, some stains on text and image, with text on verso. EXTREMELY RARE. A dramatic view from van Noort's book "Description du penible voyage fait entour de l'universe ou globe terrestre…" First (?) French edition of this classic exploration narrative published in Amsterdam by Cornille Claessz [Cornelis Claesz (1551-1609)]. This is the story of the fourth ship (and the first Dutch one) to circumnavigate the world (1598-1601), after Magellan, Drake, and Cavendish. It is the translation of the original "Beschryvinghe vande voyagie om den geheelen werelt cloot", published in 1602. In November and December 1600, Oliver van Noort (1568-1611) occupied the area around Corregidor Island. His ships 'Mauritius' and 'Eendracht' were engaged in pirate activities on the commercial traffic sailing to and from Manila. The Spanish dispatched a party to engage van Noort at Corregidor, which resulted in a battle fought on December 14, 1600. Plate shows the sinking Spanish flagship of Antonio de Morga, the 'San Diego" and its drowning crew off Manila Bay near Fortune Island; it was retrieved only 1992-1995 as nobody suspected the battle area to extend this far South of Manila Bay. Reference: UNRECORDED French edition - not in Quirino, Pardo de Tavera and Phillips; book: Borba de Moraes, page II:103&617; Tiele 806. European Americana 610/79 (different imprint); Sabin 55436&55438. Howgego N37; Suarez, Shedding The Veil, page 186; Alden, J. 602/74; Schilder, G. (Monumenta) VII, pp.312-316.

About Gallery of Prints
We are the first and only Gallery in the Philippines, specializing in Antique Prints and Books before 1900, with particular emphasis on the History of the Philippines, i.e. Filipiniana.
Since our establishment in 1995, or 28 years ago, we have grown and become internationally renowned as specialists of historical original printed material about the Philippines, dating back to the 16th Century.
We are offering the connoisseur and collector of art and history of the Philippines and Southeast Asia an unsurpassed inventory of antique prints and maps covering six centuries, a volume and scope that compares favourable with any Gallery in ASEAN or on any other Continent for that matter.
In 1998, we published the first comprehensive compendium of antique prints on the Philippines with the book "The Philippines in the 19th Century", and throughout the years, we added posters, postcards, reproductions, and other individual items intended to showcase the Philippines of the past to a broader audience. These local publications complement our huge range of antique maps, views, and prints on zoology, ornithology, ethnology, anthropology, geography, and other natural sciences.
In 2018, we hosted the IMCoS Symposium accompanied by an Exhibition of those antique maps and prints used by all lecturers in their presentations, and published the book "Insulae Indiae Orientalis" documenting the lectures and exhibition in the Ayala Museum, which - for the first time in more than 100 years - showed 3 original large Murillo de Velarde 1734 maps with the vignettes together with all later editions, among many other rarities.
As with many other international galleries, we also offer ancillary services such as acid free, museum-style conservation matting and framing, Picture Frame Hanging Systems and non-reflective glass, procured from our sister company Rudolf Lietz, Inc., a direct importer, and we sell to other galleries, contractors, interior decorators or DIY individuals as well.
Lastly, the location of the Gallery in a large Shopping Mall is conducive to attracting tourists or business visitors alike, looking for special corporate or individual gifts from a range of products not found elsewhere.
