Description
Fascinating map of Japan based on the discoveries of the Dutch explorations and Jesuit missionaries, with Korea nearby named as an island. The large and indistinct Terre de Iesso appears off the north coast as a large island, with the place name of Matzumay noted. The map is topped with a lovely cartouche.
Engraved by Antoine d'Winter for a pirated Dutch edition of Sanson's popular pocket atlas.
Reference: Walter #58 & OAG-48.
