The van Keulen family operated a chart-making and publishing firm in Amsterdam for nearly 200 years. It was founded by Johannes van Keulen who registered his business as a "bookseller and cross-staff maker."
Under his management, the Nieuwe Lichtende Zee-Faakel (New Shining Sea Torch) was begun in 1681. It was expanded to five volumes, and finally to six volumes with the addition of material from the secret files of the V.O.C. (Dutch East India Company.)
This chart, much more detailed than the standard sold charts, was only published in the secret atlas of the East India Company for their own internal use around 1753.

A cordiform - heart-shaped - horary quadrant marked with Gunter scales.
A small and charming but very fine heart-shaped horary quadrant marked with Gunter scales. The scales are very finely engraved on both sides.The quadrant was a very practical, functional, and portable instrument used for navigation. A horary quadrant is used to find the time of day by measuring the Sun’s altitude. As the quadrant became smaller and thus more portable, its value for navigation was soon realized.
