    ***

    Johannes van Keulen was a Dutch bookseller who founded his publishing house in 1678. He became an important publisher of marine charts, and the Van Keulen publishing house operated continuously until 1885. During the 17th century, the Dutch were beyond anyone else in producing sea charts. Through the high quality of their maps, the Van Keulen publishing house helped Amsterdam reach its zenith as a center of marine cartography.
