Description
An interesting and still quite mythical map of Asia.
Oddly shaped Japan. The remnants of Compagnie Land appear, as does Terra di Jesso. Southeast Asia and the Philippines are also oddly configured. Loss of paper at lower right corner, but not affecting the printed image of the map.
Robert Morden Biography
Robert Morden (d. 1703) was a British map and globe maker. Little is known about his early life, although he was most likely apprenticed to Joseph Moxon. By 1671, Morden was working from the sign of the Atlas on Cornhill, the same address out of which Moxon had previously worked. Most famous for his English county maps, his geography texts, and his wall maps, Morden entered into many partnerships during his career, usually to finance larger publishing projects.
