Description

This most important milestone chart is based upon the surveys made from navigational surveys by Alexander Dalrymple (1737-1808]. He was the first hydrographer of the British Admiralty and the first English writer to use the word Australia". He used the term to refer to the South Pacific region, not specifically to the Australian continent.

It shows in great detail the China Sea from Taiwan to the northern half of Borneo, the eastern part of the Philippines, and the southeast coast of Asia from Fushou to Indo-China.
The map includes a lettered key next to the title, which lists the vessels that explored the region between 1752 and 1763.

Of particular note is the depiction of Hong Kong as "Fan-chin-cheo."

This edition of Dalrymple's map was published by his friend and French colleague, Jean-Baptiste D'Apres de Mannevillette in his later editions of "Neptune Orientale".

Latitude and longitude scales, compass rose and system of rhumb lines, soundings near coast and in bay areas.

D' Après de Mannevillette (1707-1780) was a famous French sailor and hydrograph. During a voyage to China in 1728 he succeeded in correcting the latitudes of many places using new instruments. Back in France he devised a plan to correct and publish all the existing maps of the route to China: the Red Sea, the coasts of India, Malaya, the northern parts of Indonesia, Indochina and China.

When the first edition of his Atlas Le Neptune Oriental (containing only 22 charts) was published in 1745, it was regarded as a major achievement and a library indispensable to navigators. In 1672, d'Après was appointed director of an office established by the Compagnie des Indes for the publication of charts.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
