Handsome, large map of the continent and East Indies based on De Wit (c.1675). The extent of European knowledge of the region is vividly depicted with good detail throughout the south and south east reflecting the surveys of the Dutch East India Company, while northern and central Asia is filled mostly with mountains and forests. The work of the Jesuit missionaries is reflected in the well-documented region of China. The large title cartouche includes a busy scene including a Jesuit and traders with their exotic cargo.
