Description
A set of three maps of the "islands neighboring the Moluccas" (Maluku Islands in present day Indonesia) from the atlas of Prevost d'Exiles' influential collection of travel narratives, Histoire Generale des Voyages. The first map encompasses the islands of Bouro (Buru), Ceram (Seram), Amboine (Ambon), and the Banda Islands. The second map is a large detailed map of Ambon island; the third is small but even more detailed map of the Banda islands, with a number key to the islands' names and a volcano erupting on Gunnanape Island (Gunung Api).
