Very uncommon sea chart depicts the approaches to Archangelsk showing the White Sea, and is inset with enlarged details of Lombacho and Swetenoes. The map publishing family with the name of Theunisz took the name Lootsman, or Pilot to distinguish themselves from other mapmakers with a similar name. Theunis or Anthonie Jacobsz, was the founder of a flourishing printing and publishing house in Amsterdam. The sons, Jacob and Casper, ran the company until the early 18th century.
