Title: Isole Dell' Indie, diuise in Filippine, Molucche, e della Sonda . . . Map Maker: Vincenzo Maria Coronelli
Description: Beautiful map of South East Asia from Burma to Northern Australia. Hainan is next to the Philippines, and the Philippines are very close to Celebes. Ornamental cartouche at lower left with title on drape, carried by mermaids. Four scales at top right. The map rarely appears on the market. Coronelli was possibly the best Italian mapmaker of his time. He made globes, including one 5 metres in diameter for Louis XIV. From Coronelli's rare Atlante Veneto, one of the most decorative and ornate of all 17th Century Atlases. The map exhibits the fine engraving style of this coveted Venetian Atlas.
