Finely engraved and detailed map covering from India through southern China and all of the East Indies and the Philippines. The map is very detailed with many small islands named. European trade with Asia and the East Indies was rapidly increasing during the mid-1700s, and this map reflects the importance of the region. A decorative floral title cartouche and compass rose add to the delicate composition.
