Historical and topographical details abound on this early map extending from Persia in the west to China and the Philippines in the east. In the southwest are the Malives. At the bottom are parts of Sumatra and Borneo. A small piece of the upper right margin corner has been replaced. Two small holes on map image have been so well repaired that they are noticeable only when held against the light.
Image is otherwise in fine shape and overall condition is Almost Very Good.
Steel engraving by Ch. Smith published in Paris by Maison Bassett ca 1850. Modern hand coloring. A detailed and decorative map showing the southern Pacific and Asian region. Except for some very minor spotting in margins, the map is in Very Good condition.
