1681 EARLY AMERICA Voyages Christopher Columbus Drake Magellan Vespucci Illust

Lambert van den Bos’s “Durchläuchtigsten See-Helden” is a rare 17^th-century history of the most prolific seafarers and voyagers of the world beginning with Christopher Columbus and the European search for the new world. Bos describes the lives and adventures of other voyagers including Amerigo Vespucci, Ferdinand Magellan, Vasco de Gama, John of Austria, Francis Drake, and Robert Devereux. While the information found in this work is consistent with other 17^th-century voyage histories, the illustrations found in this work set it apart from others. The engravings, some folding, depict scenes of battle and destruction, political encounters, and ships and naval fleets.
