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.
