[KINSBERGEN Jan Hendrik van], "Generale Kaart van Den Archipel, Zee van Marmara en het canaal van de Zwarte Zee, doer den R.v.K. … 1792". Impressive chart of Greece and the Aegean published in the rare Dutch account of the Greek islands, by the great Dutch-German Admiral Kinsbergen. The map is clearly based on the D’Anville’s map "Les cotes de la Grece et LArchipel" published in the mid 18n century, it presents though interesting additions in toponyms around the Marmara Gulf, few graphic presentations of landscape features and a few bathymetric measurements such the ones indicated at Thessaloniki and in the Thermaic Gulf. These additions are linked with Kinsbergen’s naval military actions undertaken against the Turks in the Black Sea in the 1770s, while in Russian service. In that period he succeeded defeating twice the Turkish fleet in the Black Sea, winning the title “Hero of the Black Sea”. Although Kinsbergens name is not clearly indicated in map, the initials R.v.K. (R possibly for Rik, short for Hendrik), present both in book’s title and map, indicate he as the author. Map dim.69x58cm, on sheet with full margins. Rhumb lines (with a fleur-de-lis indicating north toward the head). Printed on thick paper bearing large watermarks. Short - only marginal - tears, light creasing and just occasional light spotting. NOT IN ZACHARAKIS. Zacharakis Notes a map with the same date of the Aegean and the eastern coasts of Peloponnesus (1812).
