Vaugondy: Antique Map of the East Indies, 1750
Item Details
Description
The maps covers the East Indies including Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Celebes/Sulawesi, the lesser Sunda Islands and the Moluccas, the Philippines, part of New Guinea, The Malay peninsula and much of the east coast of Indochina, part of the niorth coast of Australia/New Holland. The Philippines are well represented, however undue prominence is given to the "Nouvelles Philippines" (New Philippines), a large group of islands shown as being directly south and east of the Philippines themselves; these are likely an inaccurate representation of a mislocated and oversized Caroline Islands. New Guinea is also inaccurately represented. Shown of the Paracel island is a small triangular (and apparently fictitious) island group marked as the "Cordon de S. Antoine ou les Lunettes" (St. Anthonys chain or the spectacles).
