Description
Southern Philippines. Jacques Nicolas Bellin, Carte des Isles Philippines Dressee sur la Carte Espagnole du R.P. Murillo de Velarde. 2e. Feuille..., from Histoire Generale des Voyages, 1752 (dated). Hand Color. Attractive map depicts the southern islands of the Philippine archipelago, including Mindanao, Palawan, Panay, and part of Borneo. The map has good detail throughout and is adorned by a lovely rococo-style title cartouche. Although Bellin credits Jesuit priest Pedro Murillo Velarde as the source for the cartography of the region, Velarde's original map did not include the mythical island of St. Johann, which is here depicted to the east of Mindanao.
