Note:
|
In this map it is depicted Australia, Van Diemens Land and Japan in the East to the Indian Ocean, Cape of Good Hope and the region around the Red Sea in the west. Van Diemen's Land it shown in too large a proportion to the rest of Australia, which has still not been established as being separate from Papua New Guinea. The map was first issued by Hugo Allard in ca. 1660 and this is a reissue by his son, Carel Allard, with the only change being the authors name. All of Allard's maps are rare for the print run was in small number and the striking rococo embellishments are much appreciated by the collectors. There are some notes on Australia -here named 'Nova Hollandia'- of the Dutch discoveries on the coastline.
