Column of Dutch text to right of map. Beautiful, dark impression on sheet with original margins. The margins have some scattered, mottled foxing or light staining. (B+)

China Regio Asie, Ortelius, Epitome, 1595, black & white, (4.2 x 3"). This is a fine miniature map of China with fully stippled seas and with north oriented to the right. Good depiction of the Great Wall. A portion of Japan is shown to the east. French text on verso and page 107 on recto. Very nice example with just a little marginal toning. (A)
