During the seventeenth century the Dutch completely dominated the world chart trade. John Seller published his English Pilot in 1671, in part a response to this affront to the pride of the sea-faring British and in part a sound financial decision. However, his atlas still relied on Dutch charts, as Samuel Pepys’ remarked: “…he says that he knows it to be true and Seller will not deny it, that he bought the old worn Dutch copper plates for old copper, and had them refreshed in several places, and has used them in his pretended new book.” Although Seller eventually lost his business, other publishers continued to issue The English Pilot until 1794. According to Stewart (2016) the charts of the Cape of Good Hope used in these editions were most likely that of John Thornton or the second state of Seller’s map. Thornton redrew the Seller’s map in 1703 and made changes, the most significant in relation to Lot 207 is the use of Coney Island instead of Dassen Island. This can be regarded as a case of colonization-by-map, since there was a practice of renaming topographic features with English names. This was already the case with Robben Island that was referred to as Penguin Island on Thornton maps – both these toponyms are used on the map in Lot 207. Also, the third state of Thornton’s map published in 1734 used “Bay of Falzo”, a close match to “Bay Falso” of Lot 206. However, these links may be only speculative and it may not be possible to divine the specific destination of the manuscript maps and the information they contain, however the original source of these maps may be ones held in the Dutch National archive. Four manuscript charts, circa 1730, closely match the charts on offer. The first is Kaart van de Tafel- en Houtbaay (VEL0182) and the second is Kaart van de Baai Fals (VEL0187), both by Isaak van Es. The cartographer of the Robben Island (VEL0194) and Dassen Island (VEL0191) charts is not identified, but these are also associated with the VOC. In fact all four charts appear in Grote Atlas van de Oost-Indische Compagnie (Schilder, G et al: 2006). On all four charts on offer the soundings and other maritime details are closely matched to those on the Dutch maps. In addition, the coastlines, and more significantly the mountain profiles are similar. The manuscript charts can be placed within an important era of cartography in southern Africa, and information can be found of their origin and possible purpose. However, their charm lies in the mysteries surrounding them and the tantalizing clues that may reveal their secrets. REFERENCES Shirley, Rodney W.
