Description
A superb, very large map of Asia based on the works of the French cartographer d'Anville. The map shows an extremely detailed view of the continent including, as the title suggests, many islands, mostly in the Pacific. The discoveries of Captain Cook appear in the Aleutian Islands (Foxes Islands) and the Northeast coast of Asia, including Kamchatka. Hokkaido is featured as an archipelago named Isles of Yeso. The Aral(l) Sea is much bigger than today. Parts of the Great Wall are shown. Great deal of topographical and settlement details are offered. The large decorative cartouche features an Asian merchant, his exotic goods, and a camel. Printed on four sheets and joined into two horizontally.
