Description
Two scarce Southeast Asia maps on a single sheet from the atlas of Prevost d'Exiles' influential collection of travel narratives, Histoire Generale des Voyages. On the left is Bellin's meticulously detailed plan of the city and fort of Malacca on the southern Malay Peninsula, commanding the strategic straits of the same name. On the right is Bellin's beautifully engraved chart of the course of the Tonkin, or Red (Hong), River, which flows across northern Vietnam through Hanoi and Haiphong into the Gulf of Tonkin. Encompassing the territory between the royal capital of Cacho (today's Hanoi) to the Red River delta, this is a unusual and fascinating Vietnam item.
