VLAS-BLOEM, Louis (fl. 1646-1670). The North Zea, contaigning the demonstration of the coast of Holland, the Texel stream, the Mase, the Channell of Goeree, the river of London, and from the same to the river of Newcastle. Amsterdam: L. Vlas-Bloem, 1656. 2 parts in 1 volume, 4° (175 x 132mm). Title with engraved vignette of ships, 6 engraved folding maps, two by Vlas-Bloem, woodcut illustrations of coastal profiles. (Lower margin of first map cut away, two maps skilfully repaired, pages shaved with slight loss.) Later calf, gilt (lightly rubbed). Provenance : Trinity House (armorial bookplate). A rare Dutch North Sea pilot, produced for the English market. The British Library copy has only four maps, the first of which is described as 'mutilated'.
