Description
Original antique Dutch nautical chart ca. 1730 of the English Channel by Gerard van Keulen with a title cartouche written in English, French, and Dutch. On the English side of the Channel in Kent the shoreline extends from Rye and Socket with the Rye Camber past Hyth, Sandgate Castle, Dover and Dover Castle, ending at the South Foreland. Just east of the mouth of the Rye is shown a lighthouse on a large sandbar- the Dungeness ( Dungines of Singel ) . This is probably the structure known as 'Lamplough's Tower' originally constructed in 1635 that would have still been standing 100 years later. By Gerard van Keulen (1678–1726), son of Johannes van Keulen (d 1715), founder of the Dutch publishing house that produced "the largest and finest marine atlases in Holland".
