This uncommon map appeared in Atlantis Historici published by Homann Heirs and Johann Matthias Haas (or Hase). The map focuses on Asia, although most of the East Indies and the northern coastline of Russia are omitted. Korea is correctly shown as a peninsula, however Japan is poorly depicted, with Hokkaido (Yeso) connected to mainland Russia.
