This is a fine, copper engraved, sea chart covering from eastern Africa across to Western Australia (Neu Holland). The map provides great detail of the islands and coastlines. Rhumb lines, fleur-de-lis, and a delicate title cartouche make this a very attractive map. Published in a German edition of Bellin's travel book.
