Note:
This is a sea chart with four insets on the bottom by cartographer, chart maker and cosmographer to the King of Portugal, João Teixeira Albernaz, from the long line of cartographers from the Teixeira family. The chart depicts the Pacific Ocean with insets of Bengal in India, two of Myanmar and another of Chittagong. East Asia is depicted already quite accurate with Japan in the Teixeira-type, made popular by Albernaz's father Luís Teixiera, and Korea as a Peninsula. However, the island of Hokkaido is still named 'Yezo', Papua New Guinea is greatly exaggerated, either because it was still unexplored or they thought it to be connected to Australia, and the Kamchatka Peninsula very outstretched. There is a Portuguese flag pointing to Macao.
