Blaeu, Willem Janszoon (1571-1638)Publisher and cartographer of Amsterdam, published two important books of charts, Het Licht der Zeevaert (1608), with one Irish chart and Zeespiegel (1623), with eleven. Both had many later editions and text in several languages. Zeespiegel had a vertical format and therefore its horizontally oriented charts have a vertical fold in the centre. His son, Joan Blaeu brought out a new edition of the charts entitled De Groote Zeespiegel in 1655, in oblong format and with Dutch text on the verso.A part set of eight charts of the Irish coast including Ireland and the Irish sea.

Goos, Pieter (1615-1675) Engraver, bookseller and publisher, of Amsterdam, first published De Lichtende Columne ofte Zee-Spiegel in 1650. There is only one chart of Ireland and for this he used the plate of Theunis Jacobsz, unchanged, so loose charts cannot be assigned to this book with certainty. In 1666 he brought out his De Zee-Atlas Ofte Water-Weereld with a chart of Ireland which has his name. The source of the first state dated 1663 is unknown but those for later editions of the Zee-Atlas were modified as described below.A Chart of Ireland and the Irish Sea (1663)“Paskaarte om Achter Yrlandt om te Zeijlen van Hitland tot aen Heijsat Nieuwlycx Utgegeven t`Amsterdam bij Pieter Goos op het waater in De Verguide-Zee-Spiegel.
