Spilbergen's voyage was crucial for establishing the power and prestige of the Dutch East India Company throughout the Pacific, not least because he took into custody Willem Schouten and Jacob Le Maire during their attempt to evade the Company's monopoly on the Asian trade. "This French edition is much sought after. The text of Le Maire's journal is much more complete than that in the Latin edition of 1619" (Borba de Moraes). Spilbergen's five-year circumnavigation was the first carried out with the official support of the Dutch government. The fine plates include a panorama of the Straits of Magellan, several harbour and island views, and sea battles.
