A fascinating and scarce 17th-century map abundant with cartographical errors. The northwestern portion of the Indian subcontinent has been misconstrued as a giant island. Present-day Thailand also appears rather misshapen, with a misplaced and too large Philippine islands beside it. A huge mythical lake appears in northern India as the source of numerous major rivers. Title is enclosed within a strapwork cartouche.
In VG+ to near excellent antiquarian condition. With lovely full hand color. Original fold lines, as issued.
