Title: ’s Lands Zeemagazijn—Admiraliteitsmagazijn—Amsterdam—Sayer/Basset 1753 old mapDescription: A View of the Admiralty at Amsterdam, of the Store Houses, Wharfs and Docks belonging to it and to the East India Company of Holland'. A handsome mid-eighteenth-century vue d’optique of Amsterdam’s Admiralty buildings, storehouses, wharves and docks, explicitly linked in the title to the East India Company of Holland. The sheet is given added significance by its provenance from the estate of Rex Cowan, whose discoveries and salvage projects included the VOC treasure wrecks Hollandia, Prinses Maria and ’t Vliegend Hart. Cowan’s archive naturally embraced the whole VOC world: not only the wrecks themselves, but the ports, dockyards, warehouses and mercantile infrastructure that sent these heavily laden East Indiamen to sea. As an optical view it was intended for visual spectacle, but in this context it also reads as a collector-researcher’s image of the maritime system behind the treasure ships. .
