VEER, Gerrit De.
Plate L from the first edition of Part III of Theodor De Bry's collection of voyages to the East Indies, known as the 'Petits Voyages'.
Frankfurt am Mayn: Matthes Becker, 1599..
copper engraving depicting crew members attempting to free their ice-bound ship with shovels and axes, one man shooting at a bear with a musket, another attacking bear in the background. 138 x 180 mm., on a folio sheet with heading and text. matted and framed. De Veer's narrative, originally published in 1598, describes the three successive Dutch voyages in search of the north-east passage to the East Indies commanded by Willem Barents [d. 1597], two in company with Jan Huygen van Linschoten,. On the first (1594), Barents and his crew reached and sailed along the west coast of Novaya Zemlya and then via Vaigatz to the Kara Sea as far as the mouth of the Ob. The following year, their attempt to navigate the strait between the Asiatic coast and Vaigatz Island was thwarted by ice. The third and last voyage, which occupies most of De Veer's narrative, is by far the most celebrated and ranks as one of the greatest in the annals of Polar exploration. Bear Island and Spitsbergen were sighted on the voyage out, and the northern tip of Novaya Zemlya was rounded before Barents' ship was beset and crushed by ice. The crew was forced to spend the entire winter on the island, the earliest recorded over-wintering this far north. Early the following year, the ship was abandoned and most of the crew escaped to safety in open boats, eventually being rescued by Dutch ships on the Kola Peninsula. Barents himself died of scurvy. Gerrit de Veer was one of the survivors. Almost three centuries later, in 1871, the hut in which the company over-wintered was found intact by a Norwegian ship. The most striking feature of the various editions of De Veer's narrative is the series of animated engravings, which vividly portray the dangers, hardships and adventures experienced by Barents and his crew in the Arctic, the ice-bound ship, the preparations for wintering on Novaya Zemlya, bear attacks, the hunting of walruses, and the survivors' struggle to safety in open boats.
