This East Indies map published by Delisle, France’s foremost 18th century cartographer, is centered in China. Although highly detailed with numerous geographical and political elements, the latter identified by dotted lines, the outline for many of the territories depicted is not that accurate. Even then this map would become the base map for the next 30 years, until the D'Anville issued his series of maps of China. The map covers much of Asia, from China, Japan, Korea and the islands of Hainan, the Philippines and Taiwan; south Papua New Guinea, Timor, Java and the Moluccas, west through Malaysia and Indonesia to Vietnam, Thailand, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Cambodia, Burma, Laos, Singapore and India. Korea is already depicted as a Peninsula even though with a distorted outline. On Japan, Hokkaido is named 'Terre de Yeço ou d’Eso' and is still connected to Russia, a mistake that lasted on maps until late 18th century. Macau is marked on an island and has a note stating that it belongs to the Portuguese.
