Imperium Japonicum Per Sexaginta Et Sex Regiones ...
|
Mattheus Seutter's map of Japan is based on that of Adrien Reland, the prominent authority on the Far East, and was published in 1715. Seutter has added a textual description on the map's origins but does not mention Reland by name. An inset plan of Nagasaki appears in the lower right corner and a large illustration, boldly Teutonic in style, surrounds the panel of text, expanding into the lower left corner. Attractive full original colour delineates each of Japan's islands and their provinces, and contributes to making this strong engraving one of the most visually appealing maps of the region.
