A classic Dutch map covering all of South-east Asia including the Philippines and part of the newly discovered Landt vande Papuos [i.e. Papua New Guinea] represented as a peninsula of the southern continent. It is historically significant as the first map to reflect the Dutch contact with New Guinea and Australia. The map includes many decorative features such as the title cartouche featuring local warriors, two lesser cartouches containing the author's name and a mileage scale, two compass roses, sea monsters and a ship.
