Tertiae Partis Asiae...
Rare map of Eastern Asia by Gerard de Jode published in the second edition of de Jode’s „Speculum Orbis Terrae” in 1593. Based on the 1561, 4-sheet map of Giacomo Gastaldi. The representation extends from Mongolia to the Philippines (from north to south), and from India to China (from west to east). The nomenclature is detailed – considering the possibilities available at the time – and the lack of geographical information is covered by depictions, topographic elements and larger fonts. The engravers, Jan and Lucas van Deutecum added a finely decorated cartouche and a compass rose as illustration. Latin text on the back.
Dimensions: 330 x 505 (420 x 555) mm. Fine, clear copy.
