‘The Lootsman family (a surname adopted by the founder of the firm Anthony, or Theunis, Jacobsz) are one of the less well-known firms of chart-makers and publishers’ (Wardington). This finely engraved sea chart of the north coasts of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset and the south coast of Wales appeared in their ‘Lighting Column or Sea Mirror’ first published in 1644. An inset lower right features the Scilly Isles and is named ‘Sorlinges’. ‘Scarcer Maps of the Isles of Scilly’ no. 5; Koeman IV Jac 14 no. 40 .
