Isaac de Graaff, cartographer, was Clerk to the VOC, the Nederlandsche Oost-Indische Compagnie (known in English as the Dutch East India Company) from 1690 and is best known as a compiler of the VOC manuscript atlas produced ca. 1692 (and since lost), a compendium of all official maps, charts and plans used by the VOC. He was later appointed as the official VOC mapmaker in 1705 succeeding Joan Blaeu.
The Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie or VOC in Dutch, literally "United East Indian Company") was a chartered company established in 1602 and operated until 1796.
- Notes:
-
- Facsimile of the composite map of Dutch discoveries made up to ca. 1700 on the western and northern coast of Hollandia Nova [i.e. Australia]. De Graaf was appointed as chief mapmaker of the VOC in 1705 following Joan Blaeu. The map notes the discoveries of Dirk Hartog in 1616 in his ship Eendracht - from 1619 that part of the West Australian coast was known as Eendrachtsland or Land van de Eendracht and referred to on this map as Zuydland of t' Land van de Eendracht. It also includes the discoveries by Willem De Vlamingh's expedition of 1696-7 such as Vlamingh Head [i.e. Northwest Cape] on the Exmouth Gulf and expanding discoveries further along the south coast. This map is considered as a general record of the Dutch discoveries on the north and western coasts of Australia during the 17th century.
