Description
Decorative map of China, Japan and Korea and the north portion of the Philippines. Also depicting the island of Formosa. The map depicts the eastern part of China (bounded in the west by the Great Wall), Korea as an island and the three main islands of Japan.
To the west of China is Tartariiae Pars, and South of this India Pars, with Siam and Tsiompa (or: Champa, nowadays Vietnam).
The imaginary 'Chiamay Lacus' is located in the southern part of the map, with numerous rivers flowing south into India and Siam. Striking cartouche and an ornate scale of miles.
Two Durch sailing ships at sea.
Title in a crowned cartouche at top right, flanked by Chinese figures (a male and a female).
At bottom another ornate cartouche showing two scales of miles.
From Jansson's 'Novus Atlas', 1636.
A rarity: this copy has been backed by a double sheet of the same size, possibly accidentally, therefore the text at verso "China Regnum' in Latin is only readable by holding it into the light of the sun or a lamp.
