Description

This provides an interesting illustrated description of China, Japan, the Phillippines, Moluccas. Including a map of China, Korea, and Japan, with the Sea between Korea and Japan called "Zee van Japan" and "Noord Zee van Japan."
The map of Japan was provided by Kaempfer and copied by Isaac Tirion.

Cordier indicates that the first edition of this work in Italian was in 1738, and the date 1734 on the title page throws the sequence of Tirion's maps into some confusion.

With a folding map of Japan and the Philippines.

The bird's-eye view of Dejima is also most interesting, being copied from a manuscript by Vogue, who was second-in-command on Deshima in 1713. The island is viewed from the land side, depicting the developments of the new warehouses and the garden as well as the famous speelhuis which contained a billiard table and musical instruments on the upper floor.

Due to Dutch presence in Dejima, Nagasaki; Japan learned many aspects of the scientific and technological revolution occurring in Europe at that time, helping the country build up the beginnings of a theoretical and technological scientific base, which helps to explain Japan's success in its radical and speedy modernization following the opening of the country to foreign trade in 1854.
Rangaku, literally "Dutch Learning", and by extension "Western learning") is a body of knowledge developed by Japan through its contacts with the Dutch enclave of Dejima.

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.
