Olfert Dapper (1636-1689), a Flemish physician and intellectual person, knew perfectly the classical Greek and Latin literature. He was born in Amsterdam and completed his education in Utrecht. Although she never travels in her life, she gives herself to geography studies, so she always bases her knowledge on a wide area in her works. Thanks to his regular and centrist working style, he manages his research team in an exemplary way and publishes history and geography studies about China, Asia, Africa, America, Amsterdam and eastern Mediterranean islands. These books are decorated with high aesthetic standard maps and engravings.
The publication used mostly ancient Greek and Latin literature authors such as Herodotos, Pausanias, Plutarch, Ptolemy, Strabon, Aged Plinius, Apollonios, Hesychios, Pomponius Mela, Solinus, Stephanus Byzantius, John Hrisostomos. Apart from these, portolan (harbor) maps and island maps called isolario (Cr. Buondelmonti, B. Bordone, T. Porcacchi, M. Boschini, VM Coronelli) testify to contemporary travelers (P. Belon, G. Sandys, Sieur Du Loir, J Uses Spon and G. Wheler etc.), accurate maps of his time (J. & C. Blaeu etc.) and information from Dutch traders. Unlike Dapper's other work, "Archipel", this work is not translated into other languages; as a matter of fact, it is understood that the book was published only to praise the magnificent victories won by the Venetians during the Ottoman-Venetian war (1685-1688). Many of the striking engravings are inspired by the work of VM Coronelli. This work created a useful handbook and advisory text for future travelers.

Here at last are my example pieces for the Metal Stamping class! I used a variety of metals and techniques. In addition to stamping with letter punches on a pre-formed blank and washer, I used metal shears and a disc cutter to cut my own blanks, hammer-textured three of them, and curved the larger black discs on a dapping block.
This is a little pair of copper earrings that were patterned after a leaf that I picked up on a walk. Tools used hammer, pliers, dapping punch
Light aventurine beads nestled into wire nest. Nest hung on dapped bar and link chain with bail. All components are sterling silver.
