Le Royaume De Siam Avec Les Royaumes ... Sumatra Andemaon
|
Henry Abraham Chatelain's map of the East Indies includes southern Malaysia, Siam and Cambodia, Sumatra, Java and Borneo in good detail with numerous other smaller islands also shown. The map was published in the ambitious and encyclopaedic "Atlas Historique", published in seven volumes between 1705 and 1720, with a second edition appearing in 1732, with many maps based on those of De L'Isle. The title, running across the top of the map, tells us it is based on the observations of Jesuits sent by Louis XIV. The major routes in this important trading area are also shown including those from "Siam a Batavia" and vice versa. A detailed map with attractive hand colour.
