This map is a manuscript made to mimic a copperplate printed map very common on the 18th century. It depicts China with the islands of Taiwan (Ilha Formoza) and Hainan (Islha de Aynaõ), Japan, Korea, the northern part of the Philippine Island of Luzon and part of Tartary. Japan (Ilhas do Japam) is already depicted in the Teixeira-type and with the Island of Hokkaido b+named as 'Yesso' as common at the time. Korea (R.º de Corea) is correctly depicted as a peninsula even though with a very distorted shape and still with very few place names, specially if compared with the interior of China.
