This finely detailed and beautifully engraved map of southeast Asia shows the Malaysian Peninsula and the islands of Borneo, Sumatra and Java. This was the domain of the Dutch East Indies Company (V.O.C.), which made its headquarters in Batavia (Jakarta) on the island of Java. The map was primarily drawn from the accounts of French Jesuits and the French Embassy that traveled through the Straits of Banca and the Gulf of Siam in 1685-86. This is the lower half of a two-sheet map of the region, though it stands on its own with full neatlines.
