Description:
Superb early c.18th map showing a number of the early Dutch discoveries on the Australian coastline. Australia shown with discoveries made up to and including Abel Tasman’s two voyages of exploration in 1742-4.
The source of the information for the map was based on the accounts of D. Nuno da Cunha governor of the Portuguese possessions in India from 1528 to 1538. Cunha’s accounts were published by the Portuguese historian João de Barros (1496–1570), in his history of the Portuguese in their overseas territories, Asia de Ioam de Barros, dos fectos que os Portuguezes fizeram no descobrimento e conquista dos mares e terras do Oriente.
