Archipel des Indes Orientales . . .

Robert de Vaugondy, G.
Archipel des Indes Orientales . . ., (1750) 1757
19 x 23.5 in.
Original outline color.
Very Good, with moderate but even age toning.
 
Map of the Indonesian and Philippine archipelagos and areas adjacent, with a small inset of the Marianas. The Philippines are well described, but peculiar prominence is given to the oversized Caroline Islands (Nouvelles Philippines.) Most of New Guinea is uncharted and the eastern portion remains completely unknown. An interesting curiosity is a triangular island group off Indochina called “St. Anthony’s String or the Eyeglasses". The map is taken from Robert de Vaugondy's very popular Atlas Unviersel.

Pedley, #413.
