| Original outline color. | |
| Very Good, with moderate but even age toning. | |
Map of the Indonesian and Philippine archipelagos and
areas adjacent, with a small inset of the Marianas. The Philippines are
well described, but peculiar prominence is given to the oversized
Caroline Islands (Nouvelles Philippines.) Most of New Guinea is
uncharted and the eastern portion remains completely unknown. An
interesting curiosity is a triangular island group off Indochina called
�St. Anthony�s String or the Eyeglasses". The map is taken from Robert
de Vaugondy's very popular Atlas Unviersel.

| Almost Fine, with a few light spots and a short closed tear in the lower margin. | |
An updated version of Guillaume de l�Isle�s 1723 map of
Asia from the Dutch publishing firm of Covens and Mortier. The
coastlines of the Yellow Sea and of Japan are notably improved, and as a
result of Vitus Bering�s second expedition (1734-49), there is now
accurate detail for the northeast part of the continent. The plotting of
many islands of the Philippines and Melanesia has also improved, and
the tip of Australia is identified. In the interior many inaccuracies
remain, but there is a thorough representation of the continents many
regions, kingdoms, and territories. An excellent overview of European
knowledge of the continent at mid-century, based on the work of one of
France�s greatest cartographers.

| Very Good, with some minor spotting. | |
A scarce and attractive map showing the state of
European knowledge of Asia at the end of the 17th century. There is
little interior detail and a speculative coastline for northeast Asia, a
semi-defined land of Yedso north of Japan, and a greatly exaggerated
Maldives. In contrast, we see detailed knowledge of China as a result
of activities by the Jesuits and well-defined East Indies as a result of
surveys by the VOC (Dutch East India Company). There is a fine full
color cartouche of an eastern caravan. A very good example of Dutch
cartography from the end of its Golden Age.

Map of Asia drawn by the mathematician Johann Haas and
published by one of the most prolific and successful 18th century map
publishers. This map is reasonably up to date for its time. The outline
of Russia is particularly accurate, with Kamchatka sized correctly and
an improved outline of Siberia based on Russian surveys published in the
1730s. However, Novaya Zemlya is shown as a peninsula. Farther east,
Yedso (Hokkaido) is also shown as a peninsula and the outline of the
Malayan peninsula is somewhat crude.
This is one of several variants of this map, with a dedication to Christian Gottlieb, count of Holzendorf. The dedicatory cartouche features an Eastern potentate surrounded by costumed figures, native fauna, and oriental wares. Reference: Yeo, #132 | |

| Description |
English:
This is Karl von Spruner’s 1865 map of India and Southeast Asia in
antiquity. This map covers the entire subcontinent as well as Southeast
Asia, Sumatra, and Ceylon. In addition to the main map, there are five
insets. The upper left inset offers a general view of the region from
Arabia to Sumatra including the Indian Ocean. The lower left inset maps
reveal India as it was depicted in antiquity by the Alexandrian
cartographer Ptolemy and in the ancient Roman map known as the Peutinger
Table. The upper right hand map is an early Renaissance take on Ptolemy
in which India has been reduced and Taprobane, or Ceylon, is increased
to vast proportions. In general this map labels important cities,
rivers, mountain ranges and some other topographical details.
Territories and countries outlined in color. The whole is rendered in
finely engraved detail exhibiting throughout the fine craftsmanship of
the Perthes firm.

| Description |
English:
Truly a masterwork of copperplate engraving, this is Pinkerton's
extraordinary 1818 map of the East Indies. Covers from Burma south to
Java and from the Andaman Islands eastward as far as the Philippines and
New Guinea. Includes the entire Malay Peninsula, much of Southeast Asia
(Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam), Sumatra, Java, Borneo and the
Philippines. Pinkerton offers impressive detail throughout noting
indigenous groups, forts, towns and cities, swamps, mountains, and river
systems. Known regions such as Java and Sumatra are full of interesting
notes and commentary, such as the sites of various gold mines,
plantations, notes on river navigation, and comments on the terrain.
Lesser known areas, such as New Guinea and the interior of Borneo, often
feature simpler comments suchas Fresh Water or Lava. The island of
Singapore, spelled Sincapoor is identified. The island of Rakata,
spelled Rakama, where Krakatoa famously erupted in 1883, destroying the
island in its entirety, is also identified. Further identifies the
important centers of Siam, Bangkok, Malacca, Pegu, Rangoon, Manila, etc.
Possibly the finest mapping of the region to appear in the 19th
century. Drawn by L. Herbert and engraved by Samuel Neele under the
direction of John Pinkerton. This map comes from the scarce American
edition of Pinkerton’s Modern Atlas, published by Thomas Dobson &
Co. of Philadelphia in 1818.

| Description |
English:
A fine 1799 map of Asia by the English map publisher Clement Cruttwell.
Cruttwell's map covers the entire continent from Turkey to Japan and
from the Arctic to the East Indies. Our survey of this remarkable
continental map begins in the northern regions, which exhibit a
primitive yet ephemeral understanding of Arctic geography particularly
in Siberia and the extreme northeast where traces of Tschirikow and
Vitus Bering’s explorations are in evidence. The map centers on the vast
stretch of land between the Sea of Korea and Kamchatka and the Caspian
Sea, known for most of the 18th century as Tartary. This area was once
part of the vast Mongol Empire consolidated under Genghis Khan around
1206 AD. Although the empire of the Great Khan had long since
disintegrated into constituent states by the time this map was made,
this little known and largely inaccessible region held a special
fascination for western Europeans who were reared on legends of the
dreaded Mongols or Tartars and their leader, the terrifying Scourge of
God. Consequently, much of the geography of Central Asia represented
here references these early conquests. Genghis Khan’s largly abondoned
capital at Kara Koram is noted, as are the silk route trading centers of
Samarkand, Bokara, and Kashgar (Cashgar). Further south, the better
known regions of Arabia, Persia, India, Tibet, Southeast Asia, the East
Indies, Japan and Korea are relatively well mapped. Between Japan and
Korea the “Sea of Korea” or Sea of Japan is noted. Today scholars in
both countries are arguing over this sea’s proper name, making it an
issue of national pride, with each insisting it be named after their own
country. Japan itself is only roughly mapped according to a very
ancient convention orienting the main island on an east-west rather than
north south axis. Hokkaido, here called Yesso, is not attached to Japan
but is rather joined to Eastern Tartary or Mongolia. Tibet its worth
noting as it includes a much larger area than typically seen on maps of
this period, with its northern borders extending well into the Gobi. In
Southeast Asia and the East Indies the Straits of Sincapor (Singapore)
are noted as is the empire of Siam or Thailand – which is shown to
incorporate Laos and Cambodia. Vietnam is divided between the northern
and southern kingdoms of Tonkin and Cochin, respectively. India is well
mapped reflecting the work of Rennell and others in the region. The
entire subcontinent is here shown to be attached to the vast Mogol
Empire, which ruled from Delhi. This curiosity suggests that Cruttwell
referenced outdated sources, for by the late 18th century the British
had conquered most of the region. Outline color and fine copper plate
engraving in the minimalist English style prevalent in the late 18th and
early 19th centuries. Mountains and topographical other detail shown by
profile. Drawn by G. G. and J. Robinson of Paternoster Row, London, for
Clement Cruttwell's 1799 Atlas to Cruttwell's Gazetteer.
