| c. 1760 Johannes Loots: "Dese Nieuwe en Curieuse Paskaart van een Gedeelte van Oost Zee..." Amsterdam, 20 x 23 inches. Eastern half of this over- sized sea chart of the Baltic, originally published by Loots and later re-issued by his widow and brother-in-law, Isaac Swigters, and likely reissued thereafter by Hendrik Mooy after 1750. The present chart would seem to be Loots second published chart of the Baltic, following after his chart of circa 1700, which likely was based largely upon the surveys of Peter Gedda published in 1694 by Jacobus Robijn, which Loots had pirated in 1697.
