RARE
Chart by Anthonie Jacobsz, the Flemish coast. 1644
Jacobsz. Theunis (= Anthonie) (1606-1650). - Lootsman, Jacob & Casparus.
The family name of the Lootsman brothers is Theunisz. Their father, Theunis or Anthonie Jacobsz, was the founder of a flourishing printing and publishing house in Amsterdam. As there was more than one printer of the same name, he added the adjective Lootsman to his. Theunis Jacobsz had an essential position in the group of Amsterdam publishers who specialised in maritime works. After Jacob Colom, he was the second to publish a pilot guide with charts in the classical shape introduced by the Blaeus. As he died early, in 1650, his sons published the greater part of the many editions. Theunis Jacobsz married Lijnthe Robijns in 1631 and settled 'op het Water, in de Lootsman tussen de Oude en Nieuwe brugh'. Around 1644, his sign read ' at the Signe of the History of Josephus'. The first edition of his pilot guide must have appeared before 1644. When he died in 1650, he left five underage children. His widow continued the business until their sons, Casparus and Jacob, could take over. Casparus became a member of the Guild on 17 August 1665.
Jacob Theunisz, son of Theunis (= Anthonie) Jacobsz and brother of Casparus Lootsman, must have been the associate of the latter in the printing and publishing business. After 1650, the year of the father's death, the title of the pilot guide often includes both the father's and the son(s)' names.
