Description
Scarce early map of the East Indies, published in Paris around 1650 by Pierre Mariette.
The map is based on the 1636 Henricus Hondius / Janssonius map of the region, which in turn is based on the 1632-1634 Blaeu / Gerritsz map of the area.
The map shows the Dutch landfalls and explorations in both Western Australia as well as Cape York.
All maps by Pierre Mariette are rare.
