This two large size charts by Anville seem to be a printed and translated version of manuscript maps by Dutch cartographer Joan Blaeu (1596-1673). Taking Blaeu as his source would explain the Dutch toponyms as well as the Portuguese and Spanish ones since they were common on Blaeu's maps for they, in turn, were his sources. The map extends from the east coast of China, Taiwan, Korea (Coray) depicted as a small island and the southwest part of the Japanese islands of Honshu and Kyushu. The toponyms are mostly on inshore areas with blank interior as was characteristic of nautical charts. Quite a number of notes providing navigational aid.
