Note:
Hendrick Doncker was an Amsterdam publisher of sea charts, atlases and books, cartographer and protractor maker. While improving outdated maps, he also improves his own cartographer qualities and so in 1659, 17 maps of his hand appear in the 19-card 'De zee-atlas or water-waereld'. This particular map os the East Indies is rather detailed with Australia and Papua New Guinea, even though only partially depicted. Made in a nautical chart manner, the focus is mainly given to inshore areas with a lot of toponyms given on coastlines and the interior mainly blank. Korea is half depicted but marked as an island (insula) rather than a peninsula. However, Japan is already drawn in the Teixeira-type but is missing the Hokkaido island, at the time commonly named Yezo or Yeso. Australia appears under the toponym 'Hollandia Nova' (New Holland) and with the date of its discovery. The author is ambiguous and almost connects it with Papua New Guinea, although not completely. Both places are still very scarce in place names. The sources of the map are obviously Portuguese as the toponyms found are mainly in that language with very few in Spanish.
