Description
This is a lovely large map of Asia. It shows the extent of European knowledge of the region with Kamchatka being absent and Yedso as a disembodied coastline showing near its place; much of the area north of the Great Wall of China being unexplored; C(K)orea is shown as a small peninsula; miss-shaped Caspian Sea, etc. The large, mythical Chiammay Lacus, located in central China, spawns five major south-flowing rivers. It has good detail throughout the south and southeast, however, due to the surveys of the Dutch East India Company. The northern coast of Australia is present. Much added detail is offered as to topography, rivers, lakes, desers, forests, towns and cities. A number of ships are shown. The large title cartouche includes a busy scene including traders with their exotic cargo plus a monkey and camel..
