Two interesting maps of the Philippines and Marianas on one sheet, each decorated with a beautiful title cartouche. The map describes many place names on the islands, and shows a bit of Borneo at the bottom and some of China's southern coastline at the top. The sheet is decorated with a very lovely compass rose. This is the first state, engraved by A. Peyrounin.

This map was deaccessioned from the Universitat und Landesbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt in 2010. Documentation is available upon request.

Condition: A

A crisp impression with original outline color and later color in the cartouche. There are library stamps in the top corners of the sheet on verso, confined to the blank margins. There is a faint blue shadow along the centerfold that is caused by our scanner and does not appear on the map itself.
