ADELS, Wiert. Wiert Adels. Stuurman op het Hollandsch kofschip De Bloeijende Blom, die zig van dezen bodem, na dat dezelve door de Franschen genomen, met veel bravoure meester gemaakt en den 5 Augustus te Hellevoet opgebracht heeft. (Middelburg), W.A. Keel, (1796).Half-length mezzotint portrait by Charles Howard Hodges after Jacobus Perkois. Ca. 26,5 x 21,5 cm. (Margins trimmed). Wiert Adels was steersman for the ship De Bloeyende Blom which was bringing grain from the Baltic port of Libau. A Duinkerk privateer seized his ship but after a few days he managed to recapture his ship and to seize the chief of the privateers and to throw him overboard. Thus he succeeded to bring his ship into Hellevoetsluis in 1794. This fine engraved portrait of a brave sailor was done by the English mezzotint master Hodges (1764-1837) after a drawing by Perkois (1756-1804). Hodges worked in Amsterdam and was a famous portret painter around 1800. His mezzotint engraving is of very high quality. Cf. Van Someren 227; Muller, Portetten, 17; Van der Feltz 626.

(1e druk). Leiden, Amsterdam, Johannes Le Mair, Stephanus Jacobus Baalde, Cornelis van Hoogeveen, 1765-1766.2 volumes. 4to. 19th century half cloth, spines gilt. Volume I with title-page printed in red and black with fine engraved title-vignette, 15 folding maps and plans (2 small tears rep.) and 20 folding plates; Volume II with title-page printed in red and black with fine engraved title-vignette and 8 engraved plates (4 folding). (32), 384,(1); (36),212,(16) pp. First published in Dutch in 1749. - Official account of Anson's (1697-1762) famous privateering expedition (1740-1744) of seven vessels against Spanish commerce in the Pacific, edited from Anson's papers by Richard Walter, chaplain of the expedition. Although Anson lost most of his crew (an estimated 1000 lost to scurvy, 300 to typhus and dysentery, four in action and the remainder to shipwreck), and all but one of his ships, he did return with a vast bounty. Anson's voyage appears to have been the most popular book of maritime adventure of the 18th century. His exploits brought back new knowledge about the little-known regions around the southern tip of South America. The second volume contains the account of John Byron (1723-1786), midshipsman to the Wager, separated from Anson's fleet in fog off Patagonia, he rounded Cape Horn and ran aground in the Guayaneco Archipelago, to the south of the Golfo de Penas on the southern Chilean coast. The fate of the survivors, who then divided into two return parties, is one of the most gripping yarns of maritime history. 'This is one of the most interesting of all narratives of shipwrecks, primarily because of what happened after the loss of the Wager'. 'Anson'voyage appears to have been the most popular book of maritime adventure of the eighteenth century' (Hill p.646). - A classic account of circumnavigation, a masterpiece of descriptive travel. - Two small library stamps on title-page otherwise a good copy.Tiele 42-43; Cat.

Separately issued as a supplement of the collection of Van der Aa, Naaukeurige versameling der gedenk-waardigste zee en land reysen. - Jacob Janssen de Roy's book, the largest single description of Borneo printed during the century, which probably appeared in 1698 or 1699 for the first time, is an extended apologia written to the governor-general and council at Batavia by a skipper who had lost his ship on the coast of Borneo in February, 1692, as a result of the mutiny of his largely Chinese and Javanese crew. He and his shipmates barely survived hunger, thirst, exposure, hostile natives, and treachery before receiving good treatment and protection from the king of Banjarmasin in return for military assistance. Despite obtaining trading rights for the VOC, Roy was outlawed for absconding with the ship's money and subsequently sailed as a free trader in the Indies, visiting Borneo, Sumatra and Siam. Having acquired a considerable fortune from his enterprises, he was employed by the king of Siam to dispose of a certain English pirate who was visiting Siamese waters. The Roy's account includes brief descriptions of both Brunei and Sukadana although most of his description concern Banjarmasin. He also provided European readers with their first published description of Borneo's interior and of the people who lived there (Lach, Asia in the making of Europe, III, p.1390-1395). - Including an extensive description of the gold and diamonds mines on Borneo and the pirates of Palembang. - A fine copy.Landwehr, VOC, 291; Tiele 944; Cat.
