Isola Del Giapone E Penisola Di Corea ...
|
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's map of Japan and Korea is one of the most visually dramatic images of the region. The large title appears within a foliate border and a detailed oared vessel is a described as a Japanese boat able to cover the distance between Osaka and Nagasaki in twelve days, a distance of some 220 French miles. Coronelli's cartography often showed originality, although here, lacking any more up-to-date information, the century's standard Martini/Blaeu prototype has been used.
