A small version of Hondius' important map of the continent and the East Indies. Korea appears as an island, an exaggerated Gulf of Cambay distorts the Indian subcontinent, the southern coastline of Java is blank, and in the extreme east is Americae Pars. Strapwork title and scale of miles cartouches. Although engraved by Goos, this strongly resembles Pieter van den Keere's configuration with Japan on the Teixeira model and the island of Korea, here called Corea. Van den Keere engraved many of the other maps in Jansson's Atlas Minor. French text on verso.
