Description
SPEED, John (1551 or 1552 - 1629).
Asia.
Copperplate Engraved Map.
From A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World...with these Empires and Kingdoms.
London: 1676. 17 1/8" x 22" sheet; 26 1/2" x 31 1/4" framed.
The map covers from southeastern Persia to Formosa (Taiwan), the Philippines, and Indonesia. The map illustrates the region in which the Dutch East India Company (VOC) had built a great trading empire in the seventeenth century; a region over which the English sought to gain control. Much of the information is very generalized due to Dutch secrecy about the region.
