Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville was recognized as one of the finest cartographers of his time. He tutored young Louis XV while in the service to the French Crown. However, he also did some work for the Portuguese Crown from 1724 and helped fill out Dom João V’s library with geographical works and made maps showing Portugal’s African colonies. D’Anville disapproved of merely copying features from other maps, preferring to return to the texts upon which maps were based to make his own depictions. This led him to embrace blank spaces for unknown areas and to reject names which were not supported by other sources. He also created a network of sources including Jesuits in China. His historical approach to cartography resulted in magnificently detailed, yet modern and academic maps and atlases. The English copied extensively from his maps. This particular map depicts the East Indies with primary focus in China, which is depicted in tremendous detail, with hundreds of tiny villages, political boundaries, rivers, and topography. On the contrary, Hokkaido -named on the map 'Jeso-Gasima'- has a rudimentary shape and is nearly devoid of geographical information. Also the part of Southeast Asia is given with less geographical detail. The interior of Borneo has a note stating that is occupied by the savage nation of the Biayos, and the on northeast portion of the island that it is less well known than the rest of the island. Papua New Guinea is only partially delineated and the very northern tip of Australia is labeled as 'Terre du Sud'.
