Title: Imperii Sinarum Nova Descriptio. Auctore Joh van Loon
Map Maker: Johannes van Loon / Jan Jansson
Place / Date: Amsterdam / 1660 ca
Description:
Scarce map of China and Korea, likely from a composite atlas (includes a manuscript number int the top right corner), although the map was issued in Jansson's Atlas Maior as early as 1658..
The map is hand colored by provinces. Excellent detail throughout the map, which includes the Islands of Formosa and Hainan. The Great Wall of China is shown. A wonderful near fine example of unusually fine heavy paper.
