Classic 18th century map of Asia

SEUTTER, Matthäus.

Asia cum omnibus Imperiis Provinciis, Statibus et Insulis...
Augsburg, c.1730. Original colour. 500 x 585mm.

A very fine example of a decorative map of Asia, with two fine cartouches representing the wealth and culture of the continent. Both 'Yedso' and 'Companie Land' appear above Japan; Novaya Zemla is connected to mainland Russia; and New Britain is depicted in a squarish shape, expanded from the southern coast mapped by Dampier in 1700.
