Daniel Crouch Rare Books sold this English translation of Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer’s Spieghel der zeevaerdt at Firsts earlier this month, where it was offered for £150,000. It has an engraved coat of arms for Sir Christopher Hatton.
An English translation of a Dutch 16th century sea atlas was among the standout sales at the recent online edition of Firsts: London’s Rare Book Fair, writes Frances Allitt.
