Description
A very unusual map of the East Indies from a scarce pirated Dutch edition that was engraved by Anthony d'Winter and first published in 1683. The map covers the famous Spice Islands and includes insets of Banda, Bachian and the Moluccas. Terre des Papous is rendered as an island separate from New Guinea, following an error that began in the 1590s. The map is beautifully engraved and decorated with a strapwork title cartouche and a compass rose.
