Description
An important map of China. Besides China, the map depicts Korea as an elongated island and Japan from the Teixeira model of 1595.
Decorated with strapwork cartouches, a European and Chinese ship, a sea monster, and wheeled wind machines. In one of the cartouches, a scene from the Japanese persecution of a Christian missionary and converts in this period probably references the martyrdom in Nagasaki in 1597.
