Asia cum omnibus Imperiis, Provinciis, Statibus et Accura Tissimas Correcta et Adornata Tissimas.... - Antique Map from 1730

Genuine antique
dated:

1730

Description:

Very decorative map of Asia with an elaborate title cartouche at lower left, comprising oriental figures with a lion and elephant and another at top right, containing the title with allegorical representations of the continents.

Terra Yedso (Hokkaido) is represented here as a large landmass to the north of Japan (Honshu), with the two linked by a narrow causeway. A note states that Compagnie Land was discovered by Don Juan de Gama. One interesting feature of the map is the representation of Nova Zembla which, in contrast to most contemporary maps of Asia, is shown as a peninsula joined to the mainland. Witsen’s Caput Glaciale is also featured with a note stating that “it is not certain where it ends”. The “Novae Phillippinae Insulae”  are placed a little too far to the south of the Caroline Islands. 

Reference: Sweet, 120.
