An attractive, early miniature map of Sumatra, the southern tip of Malaya and with "Sincapura" identified. With Latin text to the verso, a Latin title above the printed map (as well as "Sumatra Insula" in a cartouche at lower right) and the page number 605, this map was printed in 1603 or later for an edition of the "P.Bertii Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum Liber Quartus, In Quo Asia" with text by Petrus Bertius. The maps had first appeared in 1598 in the "Caert-Thresoor" with Dutch text published by Cornelis Claesz. This plate was engraved by one of the few English workmen active in the field - Benjamin Wright.
