Description: Antique map titled 'Eylandt van Gossi van Candia.' Map of the island of Gossi of Candia (Crete), Greece. This map originates 'Nauwkeurige Beschrijving der eilanden in de Archipel der Middellantsche Zee' by Olfert Dapper.

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Olfert Dapper' after an anonymous artist. Olfert Dapper (c. 1635 - 1689) was a Dutch physician and writer. He wrote books about history and geography, although he never travelled outside Holland. Until today, his book Description of Africa (1668) is a key text for Africanists.
