Note:

This map is from the work 'Taboas geraes de toda a navegaçaõ' by João Albernaz Teixeira a Portuguese cartographer son of Luís Teixeira also a cartographer. João Teixeira was probably the most remarkable Portuguese cartographer of the 17th century. This particular map depicts the Asian continent and the adjacent seas north of the Equator, including the western Pacific coast and the Indian Ocean. It is clear the special focus on the Portuguese colonies and trade routes. There is an emphasis on the south with little or no information up north. The coastlines and islands are heavily marked with place names with less emphasis on land interiors. Macao is written on land, in red -usually used for important places- on the right side of the Pearl River. Guangzhou is also written in red at the top of the Pearl River.
