"Paskaarte van de Golfe van Smyrne als Meede het Eylandt Scio, en Hoemen Tusschen Scio, ende t'Vaste Landt van Calaberno, Mach deur Zeylen", Robijn (Robyn), Jacobus

A scarce sea chart covering the Gulf of Izmir, western coast of Turkey, and the Greek island of Chios. The chart locates several cities and defensive positions along the coastlines, including the fortified city of Izmir. The surrounding waters are filled with navigational detail including soundings, anchorages, shoals, and offshore islands. The chart is further embellished by two compass roses, rhumb lines, distance scales, and a decorative strapwork title cartouche.

Jacobus Robijn acquired the published rights to the Zee-Spiegel and Zee-Atlas from the estate of Pieter Goos. In the latter part of the seventeenth century, he issued a number of pilot books and sea atlases, but produced only a few maps of his own.
