About this Item

This is a rare and attractive 1775 map of Asia by Robert de Vaugondy. Vaugondy's map covers the entire continent from Africa and the Mediterranean east to the Bering Sea and south as far as Java and New Guinea. This map is most interesting in its rendering of the largely unexplored extreme northeast of Asia. Knowledge of this area was, at the time, speculative at best and Vaugondy presents a largely conjectural mapping of Japan, Hokkaido, Sakhalin Island and Korea. Further south New Guinea is presented in tentative form with its eastern border missing. Identifies the Sea of Korea. Seller Inventory # AMAB150412362
