Description
Antique maps titled ‘Indiae Orientalis Nova Descriptio’.
Important early map of Southeast Asia and the Philippines as well as a landmark map in the mapping of Australia, first published by Jan Jansson in 1630.
The detail in the Philippines and Southeast Asia is excellent for the period.
