Description
Herman Moll's map of those Asian countries to be found east of the River Ganges, including Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, southern most China, Malaysia, Sumatra, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and north western Borneo.
The map is quite detailed, perhaps highlighting the growing interest in the region by the British. The mythical Lake Chaammay is seen just north of the Tropic of Cancer.
In about 1678 Herman Moll, a German, came to London and worked as an engraver for other publishers in the city. He soon set up his own business publishing atlases and also separate maps of all parts of the world. His work was varied, ranging from miniature maps to large very decorative wall maps.
Herman Moll (1654-1732)
Herman Moll was probably born in Bremen, Germany, and moved to London to escape the Scanian Wars. He began his career as an engraver for Moses Pitt on the English Atlas. Moll also engraved for Sir Jonas Moore, Grenville Collins, John Adair, and the Seller & Price firm. He published his first original maps in the early 1680s and had set up his own shop by the 1690s.He published several geographies, atlases and numerous sheet maps. His most famous works are Atlas Geographus, a monthly magazine that ran from 1708 to 1717, and The World Described (1715-54). He also frequently made maps for books, including those of Dampier’s publications and Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. Moll died in 1732.

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.
