The life work of Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer (1534-1606) was his Spiegel der Zeevaert – the first sea atlas. It contained 45 coastal charts from North Africa to Western Norway and from England to the Baltic Sea, including the coast of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The copperplates of the charts were signed by the master engraver Jan van Deutecum (d. 1600). The first part of the Spiegel der Zeevaert contains 22 charts and was published in 1583. The second part with 23 charts was published for the first time in 1585. One of the 23 charts from the second part of the sea atlas by Waghenaer is the chart of the Gulf of Riga. All the different states of this chart from the different language editions of the Spiegel der Zeevaert are to be found in the Niewodniczański cartographical collection Imago Poloniae at the Royal Castle Museum in Warsaw: the Dutch edition (1585), the Latin edition (1586), the English edition (1588), the German edition (1589) and the French edition (1590).
