This rare little map is a close copy of Jan Jansson's map of Asia that was published in Atlas Minor between 1628-51 and was engraved by Abraham Goos. Korea appears as an island named Corea, an exaggerated Gulf of Cambay distorts the Indian subcontinent, and only the northern coastline of New Guinea is shown. In the extreme east is Partie d'Amerique and a small island named I. le Paxaras. According to Pastoureau, the map was likely engraved by H. Picart. Published by Nicolas Berey.
