Nicolas de Fer was a French cartographer and geographer but also an engraver and publisher. His works focused more on quantity than quality and so geographical errors happened quite often. This particular map includes China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Mongolia and northern India. Proper China can be seen with quite a number of toponyms but Mongolia, Korea and Japan are more scarce in toponyms. The island of Hokkaido (Terre d'Yeço) is still connected to the continent. The island of Taiwan is labeled "Isle Formosa ou Bel-Isle" and the Great Wall of China is shown. The map has a quite a number of interesting annotations.
